To J. D. Hooker 18 October [1873]
Apropos of my asking for another sp. of Desmodium, Mr. Rollisson hope to get for me D. polycarpus violaceus; but I know not whether this has 3 leaflets.1 He has sent me 2 fine young specs. of D. gyrans,2 so I am well set up in this respect. I wrote to Balfour about Neptunia—it is lost there.3
