Observations on Coronilla.
Thanks THF for information from Colonial Office on population statistics showing the inhabitants of some areas are far from becoming sterile.
Delighted to hear about Coronilla. Urges publication ["Fertilisation of papilionaceous flowers– Coronilla", Nature 10 (1874): 169–70].
Has read THF’s article on Coronilla [see 9400] – "a very curious case"; is troubled by C. emerus.
Hooker is greatly overworked at Kew and is trying to get the Government to provide some help. CD hopes THF will take an interest in the matter and forwards a copy of JDH’s application for an assistant.
