Note 92 — Chapter I · History of the Sexual Theory.
Henry E. F. (Henry Edward Fowler) Garnsey translation
It should be understood that neither Theophrastus nor the botanists of the 16th and 17th centuries considered the rudiments of the fruit to be part of the flower; this, which was pointed out in the history of systematic botany, seems to have been overlooked by Meyer, ‘Geschichte,’ I. p. 164.
