DCP-LETT-3344

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Lindley
Date:
15 Dec [1861]
Source of text:
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Lindley letters, A–K: 198)
Summary:

Thanks JL for a flower of Bolbophyllum, a genus that puzzles him.

Recent work has convinced him a number of orchids are male. Points out that JL [in The vegetable kingdom (1846), pp. 177–8] "accidentally misquoted" R. H. Schomburgk on this point.

DCP-LETT-3350

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Lindley
Date:
24 Dec [1861]
Source of text:
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Lindley letters, A–K: 199)
Summary:

Delayed thanking JL for two notes until he heard from Hooker about Acropera luteola; had no idea A. luteola was not a well-known name.

Cites his reasons for identifying A. loddigesii as male; hopes for a Gongora flower from Hooker which, JL suggested, may be the female.
