About this ebook
First published in book form in 1877, this volume of Darwin’s pioneering research on the heterostylous reproductive systems in flowering plants remains the basis of much exciting original research in the field of botany today. Darwin himself revealed, “I do not think anything in my scientific life has given me so much satisfaction as making out the meaning of the structure of these plants.”
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin (1809–19 April 1882) is considered the most important English naturalist of all time. He established the theories of natural selection and evolution. His theory of evolution was published as On the Origin of Species in 1859, and by the 1870s is was widely accepted as fact.

Reviews for The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The legendary biologist turns his attention to Botany, and this book is primarily of interest to botanists. For those who aren't botanists, it might be difficult to wade through all his talk about heterostyles and illegitimate pollination, but it's an interesting artifact for those of us who are so enamored of botany that we willingly made it our life's work. Most of the information is, of course, out of date, but it's always fun to see the history of the field, and to wonder if this work had anywhere near the wide distribution of his works on evolution and his travels. Not likely; this was a technical work designed to appeal to science geeks, and I suspect even in the Victorian era, when people were much more likely to wander through large works of technical density, this would have been a bit much. Overall, an interesting relic.
