1875 1st ed Charles 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.
