Publisher's Synopsis

The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species is a scientific book written by Charles Darwin in 1877. The book examines the phenomenon of heterostyly, which is the existence of different forms of flowers on plants of the same species. Darwin's research on this topic was based on his observations of various plant species, including Primula, Oxalis, and Lythrum.In the book, Darwin explains how the different forms of flowers on a plant are related to its reproductive organs and how this affects pollination. He also explores the evolutionary implications of heterostyly, including how it may lead to the development of new species.The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species is considered an important work in the field of botany and is still referenced in modern research on plant reproduction and evolution. It is written in Darwin's characteristic style, with clear and concise language and detailed illustrations to support his arguments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
