DCP-LETT-13594

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Charles Grant Blairfindie (Grant) Allen

2 Jan 1882
Source of text:
Cleveland Health Sciences Library (Robert M. Stecher collection)
Summary:

Thanks GA for his article ["The daisy’s pedigree", Cornhill Mag. 44 (1881): 168–81].

The evolutionary argument that petals are transformed stamens is "striking and apparently valid". Doubts petals are naturally yellow.

Wallace’s "generalization about much modified parts being splendidly coloured" is also dubious except as both are caused by sexual selection.
