On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects
And on the Good Effect of Intercrossing
First published in 1862 to support Darwin's claims about the evolutionary importance of 'intercrossing', this study argues that orchids benefit from cross-pollination and that the intricate shape of their flowers evolved so as to facilitate this. It includes a brief explanation of botanical terms and is illustrated with 34 woodcuts.
