From George Bentham   15 October 1862

Royal Gardens Kew

Oct 15/62

My dear Darwin

The abstract of Prof Targioni-Tozzetti’s work is in the Journal of the Horticultural Society v. IX (1855) p. 1331

You are at perfect liberty to mention me as having made the abstract—but if I recollect right the facts are all given on the authority of Targioni 2

Can we hope to have any communication from you this winter for the Linnean Society?

Yours very sincerely | George Bentham

Footnotes
