Summary:
JDH explains he has not written to Asa Gray recently because he is particularly busy during the absence of his aide, William Turner Thiselton-Dyer, who is at South Kensington. JDH is working on a botanical primer for the Macmillan series & doing experiments for himself & Charles Darwin on insectivorous or carnivorous plants: Cephalotes, Nepenthes & Sarracenia. Has neglected work on GENERA PLANTARUM. Has had difficulty getting good systematic contributions for the FLORA INDICA, Thiselton-Dyer & Hiern did good work but Edgeworth, Masters, Andrews & Lawson all needed a lot of correction. Tells Gray about his trip to Florence, Italy for a Congress, run badly by Filippo Parlatore who JDH calls a Tragopogon [also known as 'goatsbeard'] & a 'little toad'. During the trip he saw the Miss Horners, Bakle & his wife, & Mrs Harvey. He also went to Paris, Nimes, Montpelier, Antibes, Hanbury's brother's place near Montara, Genoa, Spezzie [La Spezia] & Pisa & returned via Venice, the Brenner [Pass] Munich & Paris. [Letter appears incomplete. It bears no signature but is written in the hand of Joseph Dalton Hooker.]

National Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.Letter attached to a specimen sheet of Licuala Muelleri (MEL 292437). Ramsay is named as the collector of the specimen, and the handwriting is his. Passages in the main body of the text appear to be responses to questions raised by M in his letter to Ramsay, 5 July 1874, as do the passages that we have placed at the end of the text, that M copied out from a letter (or letters) that he received from Ramsay, that we have for this reason appended here; two of these constitute the basis for our more precise dating of the present letter
