As a prominent botanist in the mid-19th century, Daubeny was well-positioned to weigh in on the controversy sparked by Darwin's theory of evolution. In this impassioned essay, he argues that Darwin's view of the sexuality of plants fails to take into account the deeper mysteries and complexities of nature. With detailed analysis of the reproductive habits of plants and a fervent defense of the traditional view of natural theology, Daubeny offers an important counterpoint to the prevailing scientific thought of his day.
