Thanks for CGS’s work [“Über Schneckenaugen” (1877)].
Thanks him for various plants sent for experiments.
Frank [Darwin] has been feeding Drosera meat to study differences between fed and unfed plants.
Has sent Mimosa. The horticultural and physiological Mimosa is M. albida, which has a western distribution, rather than M. sensitiva as it is commonly called in error.
