To John Ralfs [after 25 June 1874]1
I particularly want to know whether seeds of any kind, & whether small leaves of other plants, or portions of leaves, are ever found adhering to the leaves of Pinguicola. Should this occur, please to inform me if possible the name of the seeds & of the leaves, or send me the specimens.
The observations on seeds would perhaps be best made in one or, two months hence.
