Abstract

Although Charles Darwin is best known for his discovery of biological evolution, he was the eclectic natural scientist par excellence, and in the tradition of the classical naturalists such as Aristotle and Pliny the Elder, considered all the world of nature within the domain of his interests. Among these, his observations of plants, recorded in several books [e.g., (10–13)], papers and letters (14), apparently gave him special joy, because he writes in his autobiography: “it has always pleased me to exalt plants in the scale of organized beings”; (8).
