Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contribution to Our Knowledge of Seedlings The germination of plants is certainly not the least interesting portion of their life-history, but it has not as yet attracted the attention it deserves. The forms of cotyledons, and the fact that they differ so much from the subsequent leaves, had of course been alluded to more or less fully in botanical works, but no explanation had been offered, and Klebs in a recent memoir expressly states that the problem is still an enigma. Under these circumstances it seemed to me that the subject was very promising, and it was evident that Kew would afford unrivalled opportunities for such an investigation. I applied, therefore, to Sir Joseph Hooker, and I cannot too cordially thank him, as well as his successor, Mr. Thiselton Dyer, and indeed the whole of the staff, for the facilities they have offered me, and for their valuable assistance in many ways.
