DCP-LETT-13284A

From:
Johann Friedrich Theodor (Fritz) Müller
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
9 and 10 Aug 1881
Source of text:
Möller ed. 1915–21, 2: 416–17; Nature , 15 September 1881, p. 459
Summary:

Thanks CD for his letter of 21 June [13212].

Is sending seeds of Oxalis sepium, which came from a cross between a plant with long pistils and another with pistils intermediate in length. Perhaps some of the plants that come from them will have short pistils.

FM does not know who told Dr B [Wilhelm Breitenbach] that he had lost a whole library in the flood. In fact, he lost only a few books that he had left behind thinking they were safe where they were.

Has taken the opportunity of a recent cold spell to test CD’s views on nyctitropism [night movements] in plants. Describes Pandanus and Oxalis sepium.

Has just received CD’s letter of 4 July and he is glad that his observations on the effects of rain on plants interested CD.
