These will occur in abundance to any young and ardent observer who will study Muller's work and then observe for himself, giving full play to his imagination, but rigidly checking it by testing each notion experimentally. If he will act in this manner, he will, if I may judge by my own experience, receive so much pleasure from his work, that he will ever afterwards feel grateful to the author and translator of the Befruchtung der Blumen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Flower Pollination, Vol. 3: Bases Upon Hermann Muller's Work 'the Fertilisation of Flowers by Insects' Literature. - Fritz Muller, Bot. Ztg., Leipzig, xxvi, 1868, p. 115; Delpino, 'Ult. Oss., ' pp. 91-8; Hildebrand, Bot. Ztg., Leipzig, xxviii, 1870, pp. 634-6; Bentham, J. Linn. Soc., Bot., x, 1869, pp. 203-6. The style terminates in a collecting-cup which takes up the pollen as it passes through the anther-cylinder. It is closed, except for a small opening usually covered by hairs, and therefore able to curve down in the entrance of the generally horizontal flower. Insect visitors strike against the hairs of the collecting-cup, thus causing some pollen to fall upon them. Later on the stigma grows out of the cup and takes up the position previously occupied by the pollen. 505. Leschenaultia R. Br. 1687. L. tubiflora R. Br. - Darwin states that this species is self-sterile. LVIII. Order Campanulaceae Juss. 1. Tribe Lobelieae. 506. Lobelia Plum. Literature.-Hildebrand, 'D. Geschlechts-Vert. b. d. Pfl., ' pp. 64-5. Flowers actinomorphous, and twisted round so as to bring the bifid lip to the upper and the trifid lip to the lower side: corolla-tube split longitudinally. Markedly protandrous. The pollen is dehisced into the anther-cylinder before the flower opens, and lies close to the capitate stigma, which pushes it out as the style elongates. It is either removed by insects or falls away. The few grains which adhere to the stigma are unable to effect automatic self-pollination, as during further development the edge of the stigma rolls back so as to keep them completely away from the receptive surface. Fertilization cannot therefore take place except by transfer of pollen from a younger flower to the stigma of an older one.

Aside from the interest Scientists take in this question, it has a practical bearing on horticultural and agricultural problems. When we remember that horticulturists are turning their attention to the improvement of our native fruits by cross fertilization and hybridization, we must accord to this subject a prom inent place. Insects have played a very important-part in rendering ﬂowers attractive. It is well known that many plants can not produce seed unless an' insect or some other agent con veys the pollen from anther to stigma.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pollination of Pear Flowers While many plants have contrivances for securing cross-pollination by insects, there are many others that are pollinated by the wind, nota bly, for example, the pines, the cereals and other grasses, and the sedges. Such plants always have inconspicuous ﬂowers without showy corol las. They produce large quantities Of dry and dust-like pollen, which is easily carried long distances by the wind, and their pistils are generally long and feathery, so as to catch the ﬂying pollen. It will be shown later on that the pear ﬂower from its very structure does not fall in this category. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation: In the Vegetable Kingdom 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 - Uniformity of the conditions to which the plants were subjected - Some apparent and some real causes of error - Amount of pollen employed - Arrangement of the work - Importance of the conclusions. There is weighty and abundant evidence that the flowers of most kinds of plants are constructed so as to be occasionally or habitually cross-fertilised by pollen from another flower, produced either by the same plant, or generally, as we shall hereafter see reason to believe, by a distinct plant. Cross-fertilisation is sometimes ensured by the sexes being separated, and in a large number of cases by the pollen and stigma of the same flower being matured at different times.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Studies of Plant Life is written with a truly heart-warming purpose. Written by a distinguished academic but pitched at a level which is designed to allow a teacher to captivate a child in the earliest years of school. Atkinson takes the view that reasoning and 'why?' questions are suitable and appropriate for even the tiniest children and should not be held in reserve for a later date. It centres on an understanding of the 'life history' of a plant rather than tedious and traditional encouragements to rote learn and exclude context. George Francis Atkinson tells us in a startling modern way that a child does not best learn about a flower by uprooting it, dissecting and classifying it. Rather they should plant a seed, find out how it germinates, watch it grow, learn about its food, see how it breathes, reproduces and ultimately dies back. For as the author states 'When the child has once become acquainted with the conditions and necessities of plant life, how different will the world seem to him.' The book begins and progresses in an intuitive way. It begins with the particular characteristics of seeds and their peculiarities and progresses all the way on to the root systems, the changing colours of the leaves on trees and the bright momentary flowers and bids by plants for pollination and reproduction. Small engaging experiments suitable for independent learners, homeschooling or teachers in a classroom are outlined and encouraged, further tying the book to an inclusive ethos of hands on learning. A child could hardly fail to fall in love with botany when taught from this book but an adult has scarcely more opportunity to avoid being enthralled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower-Finder N 0 special study or training is required to follow these charts. It will only be necessary, for one not familiar with botanical terms, to master the directions, particularly the directions regarding the form and arrangement Of the leaves and ﬂowers. So much botanical knowledge it will harm no one to acquire. Peculiarities of the plants, ﬂowers, and fruits, obvious to the non-botanist, but fairly constant, have been selected, while botanical terms have been as far as possible avoided and replaced by words in common use. I should be sorry if this plan suggests that it is not worth while to learn the scientific Classification of the ﬂowers, or that it is a matter of no interest to study their habits and their method of fertilization. But the main object of this book is to facilitate the recognition of the ﬂowers and fruits; it is little likely that anyone interested enough to go so far will go no farther. If a ﬂower has eluded the searcher I have generally found it due to the fact that the charts have been tried without study ing the explanatory chapter. The commonest stumbling-block has been the failure to learn the meaning of the terms shrub and herb, composite ﬂower, and compound leaf. For the families and the Latin names Gray's Manual (seventh Edition) has been followed. For other Latin names Britton and Brown should be consulted. These authorities have been my main reliance for facts, though many other books have been consulted. In names likely to be mispronounced, the grave accent is inserted for the long sound, the acute for the short, as in the Manual. In case the derivation of the generic name is not given it may generally be assumed it is either unknown or is an original plant name.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of Floral Structures Through Insect and Other Agencies The belief that we must look mainly to the environment as furnishing the influences which induce plants to vary in response to them - whereby adaptive morphological (including anatomical) structures are brought into existence - appears to be reviving. To illustrate the progress of this belief, I will give a few cases. In 1795, Geoffroy Saint Hilaire "seems to have relied chiefly on the conditions of life, or the 'monde ambiant, ' as the cause of change." In 1801, Lamarck" attributed something to the direct action of the physical conditions of life" as the means of modification, "something to the crossing of already existing forms, and much to use and disuse." In 1831, Mr. Patrick Matthew (who, like Dr. W. C. Wells in 1818, anticipated Mr. Darwin in the theory of "natural selection") "seems to have attributed much influence to the direct action of the conditions of life."
