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.

DCP-LETT-9160

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.

DCP-LETT-9187

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
20 Dec [1873]
Source of text:
DAR 95: 308–9
Summary:

His indignation at the malignant, odious, hypocrite Owen’s attack on JDH. History of Secretaryship [of Royal Society in Nature 9 (1873): 129–30] was best answer to Owen.

Is hard at work on new edition of Descent – a truly awful job.

No use going on with experiments on effects of water on bloom-divested leaves. May have erred. Or it may be that water is only injurious when there is a good supply of actinic rays. Will wait until spring.
