Eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit wurde gleich Anfangs den Leguminosen wegen ihres eigenthümlichen Blüthenbaues zugewendet.
On account of their particular flower structure, particular attention was paid to the Leguminosae right from the start.
Leguminosae = Leguminosen A botanical family, commonly known as legumes, pea, or bean plants. Alternative scientific names are Fabaceae or Papillionaceae.
flower structure = Blütenbau The subfamily Papilionoideae (also known as Faboideae), to which Pisum belongs, have zygomorphic flowers, which are bilaterally symmetric and form a characteristic boat like structure (the so-called keel). Their construction favours self-pollination as long as pollinators do not interfere. Mendel explains this on p. 6, s. 2.
