Believes she has found a new species of water-lily.
Congratulations on finding water-lily.
Thanks for Pinguicula specimens.
Asks for reference to her article on Utricularia [see 10508].
Sends her article on Utricularia ["Is the valve of Utricularia sensitive?", Harper’s New Mon. Mag. 52 (1875): 382–7].
Proposes to write on Sarracenia ["Carnivorous plants of Florida", Harper’s New Mon. Mag. 53 (1876): 546–8, 710–14].
Thanks MT for her article ["Is the valve of Utricularia sensitive?", Harper’s New Mon. Mag. 52 (1875): 382–7]. Does not understand why he failed to detect movement [in Utricularia], but it appears from her observations that the valve is sensitive.
Describes fly-catching activity of Drosera longifolia.
Experiments on Papilio asterias; sex of adult determined by length of larval feeding time.
Praises MT’s observations and asks her to repeat experiments on the the relation of sexes of butterflies to the nutrition of the larvae.
Is glad she will publish her observations on Drosera.
Drosera filiformis captures only small insects [but see 8989].
Writes of her experiments with butterflies.
CD’s theory steadily gains ground in the U. S., despite Agassiz.
Asks for certain observations to be made on Drosera and Dionaea.
Reports in detail on her experiments with Drosera. Finds she was mistaken in thinking D. filiformis captured only small insects.
Thanks MT for information on Drosera filiformis [see 8989].
Warns her against publishing statement about Drosera bending towards flies or meat that they have not touched.
Will send his book [Insectivorous plants] when published.
Sends her observations on Dionaea capturing insects. [See Insectivorous plants, pp. 311–12.]
Will soon publish on insectivorous plants; asks for a particular observation on Dionaea.
Observation on the limitations on the power of digestion in Dionaea.
Observations on the insects captured by Utricularia.
Structure of Utricularia; its resemblance to an animal vascular system.
