Hermaphrodites
[hə:'mæfrədaits]
Examples
- Of aquatic animals, there are many self-fertilising hermaphrodites; but here the currents of water offer an obvious means for an occasional cross. Charles Darwin. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
- Turning for a brief space to animals: various terrestrial species are hermaphrodites, such as the land-mollusca and earth-worms; but these all pair. Charles Darwin. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
- But still there are many hermaphrodite animals which certainly do not habitually pair, and a vast majority of plants are hermaphrodites. Charles Darwin. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
