Linnaeus, Dissertation on the sexes of plants. Translation of Disquisitio de quaestione ... : sexum plantarum.
[20]
Linnoeus in dissert. on sexes. says the ornithogalum commonly but improperly called Canadense has interior petals cohering so closely that only air & scarcely pollen of other flowers can be admitted. He removed anthers with needle from 2 flowers out of many. These were sterile. If this plant grew in open air & flowered in summer, facts hostile to me.
