Summary:
Asks whether JSH considers Lychnis diurna and L. vespertina species or varieties.
Asks for help with his work on hybrids.
Would like JSH to go over London catalogue of British plants, marking "close species", i.e., those he considers real species but which are very closely allied. Withholds his motive as it might influence the result.
Has found Agrostis with worms in every germen and no stamens on stigma.
Now has 46 kinds of peas all growing together.
