Kew, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanuary 20th, 1867. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProf. Miquel, of Utrecht, begs me to ask you for your carte, and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoffers his in return. I grieve to bother you on such a subject. I am \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esick and tired of this carte correspondence. I cannot conceive what \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumboldt's Pyrenean violet is: no such is mentioned in Webb, and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eno alpine one at all. I am sorry I forgot to mention the stronger \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfrican affinity of the eastern Canary Islands. Thank you for \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ementioning it. I cannot admit, without further analysis, that most of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe peculiar Atlantic Islands genera were derived from Europe, and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave since become extinct there. I have rather thought that many are \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eonly altered forms of existing European genera; but this is a very \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edifficult point, and would require a careful study of such genera and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eallies with this object in view. The subject has often presented itself \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto me as a grand one for analytic botany. No doubt its establishment \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewould account for the community of the peculiar genera on the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eseveral groups and islets, but whilst so many species are common \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe must allow for a good deal of migration of peculiar genera too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9791041985296\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVolume II\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9791041985296","offer_id":47647901286725,"sku":"9791041985296","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d4220911-7622-4a0d-9bd2-5a4d1a907894.jpg?v=1763107009","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/more-letters-of-charles-darwin-von-charles-darwin-1","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
