Summary:
Has been working hard on Mimosa albida. Could JDH ever make its opposite leaflets shut up close, as in sleep, when he irritated them? CD doubts they do, except in sleep. Thinks movement a protection against water.
Has examined only one specimen of Eucalyptus.
Cannot believe JDH’s results from cutting a hole in pitcher in his Nepenthes experiment.
