On the Germination, Development, and Fructification of the Higher Cryptogamia: And on the Fructification of the Coniferæ (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Germination, Development, and Fructification of the Higher Cryptogamia: And on the Fructification of the Coniferæ
The work of which the following pages contain a trans lation has not yet been published in Germany, and a few words are-necessary to explain its nature and origin. It is founded mainly upon the author's well-known treatise on the higher Cryptogamia, which appeared at Leipzig in 1851. Since that period Dr. Hofmeister has continued his valuable researches, and the results of his observations have been published in the 4th and 5th volumes of the 'transactions of the Royal Academy of Saxony,' in the Reports of the same Academy for the year 1854, and in the Regensburg Flora' for the same year. In addition to the matter relating to the Cryptogamia, the original treatise also contained some remarks on the fructification of the Coniferae, and on the analogies between the sexual phenomena in mosses and vascular cryptogams on the one side, and the conifers on the other. Dr. Hofmeister has since published further observations upon this latter subject in the 'regensburg Flora' for 1854, and in the first volume of Pringsheim's Jahrbucher fur wissen schaftliche Botanik.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed study of the vegetative development, reproductive organs, and reproductive cycle of Anthoceros and other cryptogams.

The author describes the remarkable process of cell division that takes place during the maturation of the plant. The book contains 50 detailed plates revealing the detailed anatomy and reproductive development of this organism. It also provides an overview of the history of the research into the subject, with references to the work of earlier scientists, including Hedwig, Nageli, and Schacht. The book concludes by highlighting important insights gleaned on the process of sexual reproduction in cryptogams and its significance for the broader study of botany.
