Summary:

Tells JS Acropera capsule should be left to grow.

JS was correct on "bud-variation" in fern frond.

Does not believe Primula structure necessarily related to dioecism, but the difference in fertility of the two forms forced him to admit the possibility.

Summary:

Thanks JS for the very large Acropera capsule. CD has perhaps made a blunder about the sex of Acropera.
