Variations in the structure of Pelargonium flowers.
CD and his family have come to the seashore, driven from home by scarlet fever at Down, death [of Charles Waring Darwin], and other family illness. Sorry to miss seeing JSH.
Would be grateful to hear his objections to CD’s species speculations.
Working on abstract, which now is to consist of a number of sections each to be read at Linnean Society and to be published as a unit. Has finished section on variation under domestication.
Thanks JDH for stylistic corrections on MS of large and small genera.
Observations, while walking along headlands, on thistle-down blown out to sea and then blown inland.
