Gives exceptions to maize being monoecious, as CD claims in Cross and self-fertilisation; reversion may be cause of hermaphrodite flowers observed.
Sends paper on potatoes and asks CD to republish.
Thinks EH’s translation of Cross and self-fertilisation [1877] is excellent.
Would like him to do Forms of flowers, but Reinwald is afraid to have it translated in the present political state of France.
A poem in tribute to CD following the award of his Cambridge LL.D.
