Hermann Müller (botanist)

: "For other Hermann Müllers: see Hermann Müller."

Heinrich Ludwig Hermann Müller (1829-1883), German botanist who provided important evidence for Darwin's theory of evolution. He was the author in 1873 of "Die Befruchtung der Blumen durch Insekten", a book translated at the suggestion of Darwin in 1883 as "The fertilisation of flowers". He and Darwin corresponded - 36 letters between the two, or from Darwin concerning Müller, are recorded. Darwin cited him extensively in "The Descent of Man" for his information relating to the behavior of bees.
