Self-fertilization of Plants, Rev. G. 
Henslow on, 317, 
, advantages derived from, 319 ; 
are fittest to survive struggle for 
life, 396 ; are perfectly healthy, 
388; chief facts tabulated, 322; 
cleistogamous flowers  self-fert., 
347; conservation of energy in 
reduct. stamens and pollen, 380; 
Darwin’s views on, 320; fertility 
and health does not decrease, 382 ; 
fertility may increase, 383; few 
flowers (physiolog.) self-sterile, 
323; flowers may become self- 
fertilizing in absence of insects for 
intercrossing, 331 ; free from com- 
petition self-fertiliz. may equal 
intercrossed, 383; grafting effects 
of, 333 ; highly self-fert. var. arise 
under cultivation, 339; inconspi- 
cuous flowers self-fert. or else ane- 
mophilous, 342; introductory re- 
marks on, 317 ; loss of colour cor- 
related with self-fertilization, 327; 
origin of conspieuous flowers and 
causes inducing reversion to selí- 
fertilization, 333; majority of 
flowers self-fertile, 323; many 
plants morphol. self-sterile, 324 ; 
Meehan’s views on, 320; more 
productive than flowers depen- 
dent on insects, 390; naturalized 
abroad, replace native  vegeta- 
tion, 395; partial and total arrest 
devel. of corolla, 327; partial ex- 
cision of corolla and stamens, 326 ; 
physiol. and morphol. self-sterile 
plants may become  self-fertile, 
325; plants may become self- 
637 
fertilizing on reduction of tempe- 
rature, 332; relative fertility may 
surpass crossed plants, 382; secured 
by flowers closing after expansion, 
329; some derive no benefit from 
crossing with same on distinct 
stock, 385 ; some flower-buds never 
open, 330; special adap. for self- 
fertil. of Brit. plants, 347; sum- 
mary of adaptations to secure self- 
fertil., 380; value of intercrossing,
