DCP-LETT-3162

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Journal of Horticulture
Date:
[17 May 1861]
Source of text:
Journal of Horticulture, Cottage Gardener, and Country Gentleman n.s. 1 (1861): 151
Summary:

Thanks Mr Beaton for his answer [to 3147].

Asks further questions on points raised in Beaton’s previous papers: whether crossing white and blue varieties of Anemone apennina produced many pale shades; whether the Mathiola incana and M. glabra which crossed freely were artificially or naturally crossed.

CD is delighted by Beaton’s assertion that "not a flower in a thousand is fertilised by its own immediate pollen".

Recounts his experiments with Leschenaultia formosa to show insect fertilisation.
