my notice on Fertilisation of Kidney beans
[Cross and self fertilisation, p. 4: "In the year 1857 I wrote* a short paper on the fertilisation of the kidney bean; and in 1862 my work 'On the Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects' appeared. It seemed to me a better plan to work out one group of plants as carefully as I could, rather than to publish many miscellaneous and imperfect observations."]
