To G. H. Darwin [after 25 February 1879]1
Frank found a Trifolium or Clover very remarkable for bloom, & it was not in flower & so could not get name.— If you know where it grows, (you cd recognise it by basal half of lower surface of the 2 lateral leaflets being partially wetted when immersed) & would take trouble to dig up whole plant, it is highly probable that Durando would recognise it by its general appearance, & this wd be of service to us.2
C. D.
I hope you received the Circular about overplus of my Income.—3

Summary
Frank [Darwin] has found a Trifolium remarkable for "bloom", but it was not in flower. If GHD knows where it grows, could he dig up the whole plant?
