DCP-LETT-6987

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Nature
Date:
13 Nov [1869]
Source of text:
Nature 1 (1869): 85
Summary:

Comments on A. W. Bennett’s letter [Nature 1 (1869): 58] on fertilisation of winter-flowering plants. CD used net, not a bell-glass to cover Lamium.

Refers to F. Delpino’s observations on fertilisation of grasses; CD is glad to say these observations are compatible with "the very general law that distinct individual plants must be occasionally crossed".
