Summary:
JDH’s "shock" that CD was awarded the Copley Medal.
Oliver, Thomson and JDH independently concur mature tendrils of Dicentra are foliar, though JDH remembers they were axial in the spring. Expects he and CD were fooled, but will have to look again next spring.
Praises CD’s Lythrum paper [Collected papers 2: 106–31].
JDH completing F. Boott’s work on Carex [Illustrations of the genus Carex].
JDH now does suspect Mrs Boott is illegitimate daughter of Dr Erasmus Darwin [see 4389].
