DCP-LETT-4069

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Journal of Horticulture
Date:
[17–24 Mar 1863]
Source of text:
Journal of Horticulture and Cottage Gardener n.s. 4 (1863): 237
Summary:

Reports the observations of Hermann Crüger and John Scott that fruit is set by orchids whose flowers never open and that pollen-tubes are emitted from pollen-masses still in their proper position. These cases convince CD that in Orchids he underestimated the power of tropical orchids to produce seed without insect aid but he is not shaken in his belief that the structure of the flowers is mainly related to insect agency.
