DCP-LETT-9158

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
24 Nov 1873
Source of text:
DAR 95: 306–7
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.

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
25 Nov 1873
Source of text:
DAR 103: 183, 186
Summary:

He has noticed that Mimosa albida leaves closed only partially. It can be objected to CD’s theory that, if true, all, or at least more, species would close their leaves on application of water, unless he can show special injury done to M. albida by water.
