About The Effects of Cross & Self-Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom by Charles Darwin
Various means which favour or determine the cross-fertilisation of plants. Benefits derived from cross-fertilisation. Self-fertilisation favourable to the propagation of the species. Brief history of the subject. Object of the experiments, and the manner in which they were tried. Statistical value of the measurements. The experiments carried on during several successive generations. Nature of the relationship of the plants in the later generations. Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist who became widely famous for his contributions to the science of evolution and the process he called natural selection. Darwin's writings are still widely read and he is considered to be one of the most influential people in the history of the world. In this book Darwin examines the evolution in plants and provides evidence that he would later use in his famous book on the origin of species.
