He emphasizes the role of insects in plant pollination and thus opened up new fields of research for subsequent botanists. Although this book first published in 1862 did not match the success of "On the Origin of Species" 1859 it did cement Darwin's reputation as a botanist. Many of his studies of English orchids were made near where he lived in Orchis bank" a place that is now a nature reserve and is still home to a large number of orchids insects and birds.

1890B281London: John Murray 1890. Second Edition Revised Fifth Thousand. Hardcover. Very good . From Wikipedia:<br /> "Fertilisation of Orchids is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin published on 15 May 1862 under the full explanatory title On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing. Darwin's previous book On the Origin of Species had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilised and this new idea was explored in detail. Field studies and practical scientific investigations that were initially a recreation for Darwin-a relief from the drudgery of writing-developed into enjoyable and challenging experiments. Aided in his work by his family friends and a wide circle of correspondents across Britain and worldwide Darwin tapped into the contemporary vogue for growing exotic orchids.<br /> <p>The book was his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection and explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the coevolution of orchids and insects. The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation. It influenced botanists and revived interest in the neglected idea that insects played a part in pollinating flowers. It opened up the new study areas of pollination research and reproductive ecology directly related to Darwin's ideas on evolution and supported his view that natural selection led to a variety of forms through the important benefits achieved by cross-fertilisation. Although the general public showed less interest and sales of the book were low it established Darwin as a leading botanist. Orchids was the first in a series of books on his innovative investigations into plants."<br /> <br /> This copy of the second edition is very good in the publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles on the spine and blind-stamped borders on both covers. Very slight scuffing at the corners and very slight fraying at the spine ends. Three small bubbles in the cloth on the front cover. The front hinge is just the beginning of cracking of the endpaper but no other marks or damage at all. Except for the front hinge it would be near fine.</p> . <br /> <br /> <br /> Freeman 810.

EARLY PRINTING IN VERY FINE CONDITION. One of Darwin's most important but often overlooked works. The LIFE AND LETTERS of Darwin III p. 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying that "if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the 'Origin' the author would have been canonised rather than anathematised by the natural theologians" and noted that a review in the 'Literary Churchman' found only one fault "that Mr. Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying 'O Lord how manifold are Thy works.'"<br> The book was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilize them their evolution being attributed to natural selection and therefore was the first of the volumes of "supporting evidence" for his ORIGIN OF SPECIES.
