Foxing to endleaves and to fore edge else clean and unblemished. In his eye-opening re-appraisal of Darwin's botanical books Oliver Sachs wrote that Darwin's botanical studies were "engines of war great missles of evidence lobbed at the skeptics of his theory of natural seledtion" The River of Consciousness. Sachs observes that the botanical studies are "even more overwhelming" than the author's magnum opus The Origin of Species in its presentation of natural seledtion as the basic fact of evolution. Sachs singles out this work The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species as particularly significant in that it explores the theme of co-evolution between two or more interdependent species such as elongated flowers developing together with insects capable of pollinating them with a long proboscus.

As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers" Life and Letters I p. 78. Freeman remarks that "had Darwin not chosen such genetically complex examples he might have approached more nearly to an understanding of the laws of particulate inheritance".

It was translated into French and German during Darwin's lifetime followed by four further languages after his death. Octavo. 15 woodcut illustrations and 38 tables within text.

Darwin recalled the writing of this title in his autobiography: "This book consists chiefly of the several papers on heterostyled flowers originally published by the Linnean Society corrected with much new matter added together with observations on some other cases in which the same plant bears two kinds of flowers. As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers. The results of crossing such flowers in an illegitimate manner I believe to be very important as bearing on the sterility of hybrids; although these results have been noticed by only a few persons."
