DCP-LETT-9116

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
29 Oct 1873
Source of text:
DAR 103: 176–7
Summary:

Sends plant specimens.

He and Thiselton-Dyer, working on with Nepenthes, have independently found the spiral vessels going to the gland. CD’s view that the glands are secretory organs is suggestive. When Nepenthes is as much done as CD wants,

he will turn to Cephalotus and Sarracenia.
