IN THE HEADY days of the Victorian era, a forward thinking British scientific community formulated, tested, and contested new scientific concepts with remarkable vitality. The ‘‘Origin of the species’’and many other groundbreaking books had been recently published, primary scientific societies were increasingly opened to the public, and their proceedings reported in the popular press. Electricity had become a public and scientific fascination, and physicochemical discoveries were strongly linked to the dizzying pace of the industrial revolution. Overall, there was a generalized wonder at the power of science and what it could achieve.In this climate, physiological botany emerged as a scientific pursuit with a primary emphasis on the possibility of mechanistic similarities between animals and plants. Although still somewhat zoocentric in nature, as a full appreciation of the scale of evolutionary history and the archaic origins of species required time to develop, the exploration of physiological commonalities was pursued by many of the notable biologists of the period. Darwin himself discussed the plant digestion, sensitivity, and other ‘‘animal-like’’properties in his 1875 book Insectivorous Plants. J. Burdon-Sanderson, a contemporary of Darwin’s son Francis and eventually a Regius professor at the University of Oxford, was intrigued by these observations. In the period from 1873 to 1880 Darwin and Burdon-Sanderson met frequently, exchanged materials through his son Francis and exchanged over 60 catalogued and curated1 letters on the subject, right until Darwin’s death in 1882.
