Brown was investigating the fertilization process in Clarkia pulchella, then a newly discovered species of flowering plant, when he noticed a “rapid oscillatory motion” of the microscopic particles within the pollen grains suspended in water under the microscope. Other researchers had noticed this phenomenon earlier, but Brown was the first to study it.
