CD annotations
Verso: ‘Shape of Stigma’1 pencil
Footnotes
CD had grown curious about the shape of the stigma in the two forms of the dimorphic Pulmonaria angustifolia (see letter from W. E. Darwin, 14 April [1864] and n. 9, and letter to W. E. Darwin, [after 14 April – 5 May 1864]). William mentioned later that he thought all the stigmas were ‘more or less bilobed’ (see letter from W. E. Darwin, 12 May [1864], and n. 7).
