From Daniel Oliver   12 October 1874

My Dear Sir/

D^r Hooker—who is down in the West Country—sends me y^r. letter ab^t. Sundews &c.—¹ I send this morning by carrier—2 sheets of Byblis-Roridula for y^r. examination—which you can return kindly at y^r. convenience.²

Then, with this I put in frag^ts. of several Utricularias which have special circular arrangements as well as simple leaves—prob^ly. most of them growing amongst moss or in marshy places.³

Of the group to which U. montana belongs I only know some 3 species altogether—with the [stated] “Orchidioid” appendages:— hence name of the Section (Orchidioides).⁴

The boy is waiting for the letters so in haste

Ever yours | D Oliver
