From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Obadiah Westwood
Date:
4 Sept [1861]
Source of text:
Oxford University Museum of Natural History (Hope Entomological collection)
Summary:

Is certain he never had Morren’s paper from JOW or heard of it before JOW’s note; will write to Gardeners’ Chronicle about it [see 3252].

Thanks for the two Sphinx moths; unfortunately the pollen-masses do not belong to orchids but to Asclepias.

Asks whether R. B. Todd’s Cyclopedia of Anatomy and Physiology [1835–59] has an article on fertilisation of orchids.
