Sends CD a box of Pinguicula leaves.
Sends Pinguicula vulgaris leaves with seeds on them, together with his observations on proportion of leaves with insects on them.
Asks what proportion of leaves of Pinguicula have insects adhering to them. Also, whether seeds of any plants ever adhere to the leaves, and in what situations does P. vulgaris grow.
Glad to hear about sticky fluid on leaves. WCM need not bother to count leaves.
Thanks for the Pinguicula leaves, from which he has picked off sixteen seeds.
