DCP-LETT-712

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Stevens Henslow
Date:
[4 Nov 1843]
Source of text:
DAR 93: A13–14
Summary:

Babington has reared a facsimile [of W. Kemp’s Atriplex] by sowing seeds of A. angustifolia. CD has advised Kemp not to publish since anyone would say it was more probable that the seeds of his specimens were in the soil, than that the ones he found had retained vitality. CD regrets this, as he has no doubt of the antiquity of the seeds.
