E. V. Gorup & H. Will - most important paper on digestive secretion of Nepenthes
Confirms all I have said - starch & gelatine - but Hooker (& probably I wrong) that no pepsine in secretion of Nepenthes, what is wanted is the acid
Formic acid acts far more energetically than most other acids Citric & Malic nearly equally.
