His friend Rev E[dward] F[rancis] Linton has suggested me applying to you for a few figures - numbers of the phanerogams in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Lapland) or in these countries separately, also in Denmark if available - required for comparison with those of other European areas & also other parts of the world - do not require latest estimates - prefer numbers from books 30-40-50 years ago, or if the numbers are only to be had in very recent works I should be obliged if you would accompany them by a general indication of what amount per cent should be deducted to approximate the scale of species of Hooker or Bentham.
ARW is grateful for the information about the flora of Italy and the enclosed letter from Dr Lauterbach (see WCP6813).

JDH writes to inform Otto Stapf that he has identified [Alfred Karl] Meebold's supposedly new balsam as an existing species to be found in the RBG Kew herbarium: Impatiens bicolor. He is returning the Balsams addressed to the Director [Sir David Prain]. JDH offers 2 brochures for the RBG Kew herbarium library, they are entitled BOTANISCHE WANDTAFELN & TURGOR DER MARKSTRAHLZELLEN. He does not understand the German terminology in the titles but has determined that they concern the fertilisation of orchids, Beech leaf tissue, a Plasmodium & the treatment of wood by salpeter. They were given to JDH by George King. An annotation signed by Stapf records that he has acknowledged receipt of Meebold's impatiens, accepted the brochures for the library & explained their German titles to JDH.
