Fertilisation of Orchids was concerned with working out in detail the relationship between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilise them their evolution being attributed to natural selection. It is therefore the first of the volumes of supporting evidence for Origin of Species. This is the only Murray Darwin between 1859 and 1910 not bound in green cloth. Life and Letters of Darwin Volume 3 page 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying 'if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the "Origin" the author would have been canonised rather the anathematised by the natural theologians' and notes that a review in the Literary Churchman found only one fault 'that Mr Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying' "O Lord how manifold are thy works"; Sotheby's catalogue Darwin's Century: The Jeremy Norman Collection page 53 No.127.
