Description: Charles Darwin, Bassette, Southampton to John Burdon-Sanderson. Suggests that Burdon-Sanderson test to see if there is any electrical charge in the leaves of Dionaea when they are excited and offers to provide the plants. A.L.S., 1 p.

Transcript: upper & lower surface would exhibit an electrical change (if such there be) during the act of inflection. Now ‘Dionaea, from the large size of the leaf and from the suddenness and greatness of the movement, would be the best to operate on. If on further reflection you are willing to investigate this point, I would gladly send you by a servant plants in good condition; for I suppose you would require to have the plants at the Institute and not at Down. If you obtained any results, it seems to me that it would be a remarkable discovery and well worth your publishing.
