188415825Torino: Unione Tipografico-Editrice Torinese 1884. FIRST EDITIONS IN ITALIAN. Original printed wrappers. I: First and only Italian edition of Insectivorous plants first published in London in 1875. Darwin’s meticulous study of the adaptation of plants particularly under impoverished conditions. A chance observation of flies caught on a leaf of Drosera rotundifolia led the author to a series of experiments and subsequent conclusion about the significance of carnivorous feeding and how this remarkable adaptation ensures the survival of the plant. Of particular interest to Darwin was his observation that the living plant cells possessed a capacity for irritability and response much like that of the nerve and muscle cells of animals.<br /> II: First Italian edition of Different forms of flowers on plants of the same species London 1877. A very technical work devoted to dimorphism of plants with a specific attention to primrose and primulaceous plants. Darwin noticed that in some species flowers differ by the lengths of their anthers and styles like the primroses which show two conditions or loosestrife which shows three. This work was only translated into French and German during Darwin’s lifetime. Unione Tipografico-Editrice Torinese unknown
187815656Paris: C. Reinwald 1878. FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Woodcut illustrations and tables in text. Original cloth; an excellent copy uncut and unopened. First edition in French of the author’s important work on the adaptation of plants. In these investigations Darwin crosses a “long styled†individual with another long styled flower to produce a comparatively infertile primrose illustrating a degree of sterility within the limits of a single species comparable to that produced in the crossing of distinct species. Darwin’s work on heterostyled plants bears on one of the most difficult points in the statement of the case for evolution the sterility of interspecific crosses and of hybrids. Darwin writes that the time involved in this research gave him more pleasure than almost any other. Freeman 1296. C. Reinwald unknown
