Pollen (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Pollen Last year I laid before the Linnaean Society a Paper on Pollen, with drawings of the various kinds. But it having been brought to my notice that several German botanists had written on the subject of late years, and also that hassall had published an important paper on it, I withdrew mine from before the Society. Since then I have altered it considerably; having added new matter, and omitted from the plates what had been figured previously by hassall and romanoff, except where I differed from them. I also take notice of the drawings by Mr. Worthington smith, which were published by him after my paper had been laid before the Society; and have added to the list all that have been figured and noticed by former botanists on the subject; so that it may be viewed immediately in detail.
