Talk:Hertwig rule

Discussion
Didn't Hofmeister publish similar observations some years earlier?

Hofmeister, W. (1863). Zusatze und Berichtigungen zu den 1851 veröffentlichen Untersuchungengen der Entwicklung höherer Kryptogamen. Jahrbucher für Wissenschaft und Botanik 3, 259-293.

In the literature one can find mentions of both Hofmeister's rule and Hertwig's rule and they seem to have equal meaning. Hofmeister recognized this phenomenon in plants and Hertwig in animals.
