Summary:

JDH thanks Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for sending him a letter from [Odoardo] Beccari, whom he is encouraged to hear will be publishing his work. JDH has been working on the difficult genus Poa [for the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA], the best specimens he has studied are those collected by [John Firminger] Duthie. [George] King is sending JDH further specimens, including some from Burma, which JDH hopes he & [Otto] Stapf will work on in the spring, though he is not looking forward to tackling Andropognium [Andropogoneae?] again. JDH is also labouring over the classification of Andropogoneae with reference to the work of Hackel & [George] Bentham. JDH is staying indoors during the bad weather. JDH needs to see Harriet [Thiselton-Dyer née Hooker] about some illustrations for the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE.

Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.140, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH thanks William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for 'the Forsythia letters'. JDH writes that he will 'send Dr Mcnab's to Godfrey Wesgewood'. Informs WTTD that G. Lindley is father of [John] Lindley & is a nurseryman in Norwich, where J. Lindley was 'discovered' by JSH's father, William Jackson Hooker and introduced to Joseph Banks. JDH criticises the current parliament as ineffectual & mentions Bryer in particular. More plant specimens have arrived from George King. JDH has given up working on Poa until Otto Stapf has put the new India specimens in order & is working on Festuca & Bromus. He comments that the grasses in general have been 'laid in' & named very badly. JDH criticises William Munro's naming, except of Bambuseae & comments that judging from Gamble's monograph Munro had poor material to work with. He gives as an example the confusion between identifying Avenas & Bromi. He is confident that Stapf will do good work on the grasses in the RBG Kew herbarium. JDH is unable to accept Harriet [Thiselton-Dyer née Hooker's] invitation to come to Kew as JDH's gardener is sick adding to his already heavy workload.

To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:

Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.139, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH refers to an enclosure for Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer [enclosure not present]. Writes that he is 'enchanted' with William Henry Hudson's book: THE NATURALIST IN LA PLATA. JDH comments on his work on Indian plants [probably for the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA], particularly new species of Bromus amongst [John Firminger] Duthie's plants, he wonders if they will retain their distinct character when grown 'under drill' rather than in natural surrounding. If nothing else JDH's work will produce useful sketches for the RBG Kew herbarium.
