Sends specimens of Pinguicula and observations made on them. [See Insectivorous plants, pp. 390–1.]
Wants particularly to know whether seeds or leaves of other plants are ever found adhering to the leaves of Pinguicula. Observations would perhaps best be made in a month or two.
Thanks for the Pinguicula plants, which have recovered, and asks if he could also send Utricularia, since his other supplies have failed.
Discusses specimens of Utricularia.
Mentions JR’s work on desmids [The British Desmidieae [Desmidiae!?] (1848)].
