Mimosa prostrata, described by John Lindley as M. marginata, native of Brazil.

Who supplies CD with distilled water and chemicals?

Describes work on Nepenthes – more difficult than Drosera.

Has written to Dublin for a Drosophyllum.

Describes his experiments on Nepenthes; finds action analogous to that in Drosera.

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.
