The editors of the Darwin correspondence noted: "There is a diagram drawn by Hooker of the stigma and style of Leschenaultia formosa, with a few accompanying annotations, in CD's Experimental book (DAR 157a). The diagram, dated 19 April 1860, was presumably drawn after Hooker received CD's queries contained in the preceding letter and was possibly sent to CD enclosed with Hooker's letter."
