Darwin Insectivorous Plants Carnivorous Botany Evolution
“One general law, leading to the advancement
of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest
live and the weakest die.”
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of
Species
A rare first American edition of Charles Darwin’s “Insectivorous Plants”. This book was a study of Darwin’s
experiments and observations on carnivorous plants, paying special attention to
the conditions in which they lived. His most important finding was that these
insect-eating plants only reacted to the movements of animals, not the prodding
of a researcher. He also discovered many of the different ways these plants
catch their prey, such as sticky substances, or hinged mouth-like leaves.
