DCP-LETT-9789

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Dorothy Fanny Walpole; Dorothy Fanny Nevill
Date:
29 Dec 1874
Source of text:
DAR 147: 187
Summary:

CD thought he had already reported to DN on Utricularia. The large swellings in roots store water. The minute bladders are adapted to catch live animals and feed on decayed remains.

Will visit DN when in London this winter.
