DCP-LETT-3421

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
30 Jan [1862]
Source of text:
DAR 115: 142
Summary:

Is JDH sure it is a Bletia, just received? Its pollen very different from any Epidendreæ he has seen. If it is Bletia, Lindley’s grand divisions are fanciful.

Accepts JDH’s offer to collect cases of dimorphism.

James Bateman has sent a lot of orchids with Angraecum sesquipedale. What a proboscis the moth that sucks its 11½ inch nectary must have!
