Hofmeister, W. On the Germination, Development, and Fructification of the Higher Cryptogams, and on the Fructification of the Conifers. London 1862. Translated (from the German) by F. Currey, 1st ed. XVII, 491 pp. Original cloth binding. With 65 plates. With this single publication, the core of botany moved from its Middle Ages to the Modern Period. — Heralds of Science no. 34: “Entirely self-taught, Hofmeister attained a full professorship and a place among the foremost botanists of the 1800s. He revealed the process of fertilization in non-flowering plants (cryptogams) as a regular alternation of sexual and asexual generations in mosses, ferns, horsetails, and liverworts. The asexual generation propagated by means of spores, alternating with one in which spermatozoids unite with ova. (First English ed. 1862 Sic!). - 19.
