Observations on insectivorous plants.
Asks what proportion of leaves of Pinguicula have insects adhering to them. Also, whether seeds of any plants ever adhere to the leaves, and in what situations does P. vulgaris grow.
Sends CD a box of Pinguicula leaves.
Glad to hear about sticky fluid on leaves. WCM need not bother to count leaves.
Sends Pinguicula vulgaris leaves with seeds on them, together with his observations on proportion of leaves with insects on them.
