Who Discovered Double Fertilization in Angiosperms?

The fusion of one sperm with the egg cell

to form the embryo and of the other sperm with the polar fusion nucleus to give rise to the endosperm ('double fertilization') was discovered by Nawaschin in 1898 in the liliaceous plants, Lilium martagon and Fritillaria tenella.
