Excerpt from The Classes and Orders of the Linnæan System of Botany, Vol. 1: Illustrated by Select Specimens of Foreign and Indigenous Plants

Linnaeus has thus expressed his opinion on this subject' While plants are in flower, the pollen falls from the antherae, and is dispersed abroad. At the same time that the pollen is scattered, the stigma is then in its highest vigour, and for a portion of the day at least is moistened with a fine dew. The pollen easily finds access to the stigma, where it ad heres, and being mixed with the fluid of the stigma. Is conveyed to the rudiments of the seed.
