FVM-74-07-16

From:
Edward Ramsay
To:
Ferdinand von Mueller
Date:
16 July 1874
Source of text:
National Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.Letter attached to a specimen sheet of Licuala Muelleri (MEL 292437). Ramsay is named as the collector of the specimen, and the handwriting is his. Passages in the main body of the text appear to be responses to questions raised by M in his letter to Ramsay, 5 July 1874, as do the passages that we have placed at the end of the text, that M copied out from a letter (or letters) that he received from Ramsay, that we have for this reason appended here; two of these constitute the basis for our more precise dating of the present letter

Foster is certainly in error. Every insect that Drosera catches causes aggregation.

Thanks GJR for his letter, regrets pressure of other work prevents his giving GJR’s remarks the attention they deserve. GJR makes clearer how an organ that has started to decrease will go on decreasing.
