The Evolution of Sex in Plants, written by John Merle Coulter and first published in 1914, is a comprehensive study of the reproductive processes and mechanisms of plants. The book explores the evolution of sexual reproduction in plants, tracing the development of different reproductive structures and strategies from primitive forms to more complex flowering plants. Coulter examines the role of pollination, fertilization, and seed dispersal in plant reproduction, as well as the various mechanisms plants have developed to ensure successful mating and propagation. The book also discusses the ecological and evolutionary implications of sexual reproduction in plants, including the advantages and disadvantages of different reproductive strategies. Coulter's work remains an important reference for botanists, evolutionary biologists, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of plant reproduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
