Insectivorous Plants is a book by British
naturalist and evolutionary theory pioneer Charles Darwin. The book chronicles
Darwin's experiments with various carnivorous plants, in which he carefully
studied their feeding mechanisms. Darwin tried several methods to stimulate the
plants into activating their trap mechanisms, including feeding them meat and
glass, blowing on them and prodding them with hair.
Charles Darwin was an English
naturalist and author best-known for his revolutionary theories on the origin of
species, human evolution, and natural selection. This book is first
printed in book form in 1875 by John Murray. Originally, the text appeared as
essay in the 9th volume of the Journal of the Linnean Society, therefore the
first edition in book form is actually called the ‘second edition, revised.’
Illustrations were drawn by Charles Darwin’s son, George Darwin.
This book, explains the synthesis of information
for developing strategies to combat plant stress. The information covered in
this book would bridge the much-researched area of stress in plants with the
much-needed information for evolving climate-ready crop cultivars to ensure food
security in the future.

This book is
the result of several years 1 experience of the authors with the Intermediate
classes. A lot of time is usually wasted in giving instructions and notes to the
students as to the procedure of the day's work. The authors feel that this
humble attempt at systematizing the practical work of Intermediate classes, will
go a long way to remove this difficulty.
The purpose of this note is to to give the students a general idea
of the principles of the science, rather than a comprehensive survey of the
whole vegetable kingdom. In a short course of this nature it is impossible to
include examples of every group, and therefore those types have been selected
with which it is moat important that the student should become acquainted.
This note contains explanation of algae,
structure of alage and its classification. The contents of this documents are
Dichotomous Key to Freshwater Algae, Groups of Cyanobacteria & Algae,
Dinoflagellates, Euglenoids, Brown, Golden brown, and Yellow brown Algae
and Glaucophytes.
