In contrast, sex in plants wasn't discovered until the late seventeenth century. Even after its discovery, the sexual 'theory' continued to be hotly debated for another 150 years, pitting the 'sexualists' against the 'asexualists.' Why was the idea of sex in plants so contentious for so long? In answer, 'Flora Unveiled' offers a deep history of perceptions concerning plant gender and sexuality, from the Paleolithic to the nineteenth century.Plants, Sex inResearchHistorySexual dimorphism (Plants)Plants, Sex inResearchHistory.Sexual dimorphism (Plants)581.166Taiz Lincoln66841Taiz LeeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794735603321Flora unveiled3740912UNINA
