112 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I902. 



127. Two leaves entirely aborted. There are only two sepals 

 which are opposite and two petals, also opposite : two stamens 

 aborted. 



128. The place of the ovary is taken by three leaf -like parts 

 with stems 10 mm. long and blades 5 x 14 mm. in size. Within 

 this circle are two pollen bearing stamens with filaments 4 and 7 

 mm. long and anthers 5 and 10 mm. long. 



129. In this plant the sepals are marked with white, one being 

 two-thirds white, one being one-half white and one having a 

 white edge along one side proximally. 



130-133. Typical plants in which a single rootstock gives 

 rise to two stems. 



134-180. Abnormal plants in which a single rootstock gives 

 rise to two stems. 



141 a. One petal has a stem 6 mm. long and a blade 16 x 30 

 mm. in size. 



143 b. One petal is entirely white. 



144 b. Two petals are green at their bases and white distally. 



146 a. All the leaves are reduced to spurs 3 mm. long. 

 b. All parts above the leaves are aborted. 



147 a. Two leaves are reduced to spurs. 



b. One leaf is reduced to a spur and all parts above leaves 

 are aborted. 



148 a. One stamen is aborted and two of the others have 

 filaments 13 and 6 mm. long and anthers 8 and 8 mm. long. 

 Pistil aborted. 



b. One stamen has the filament 12 mm. long and the 

 anther 9 mm. long. Pistil aborted. Leaves in both a and b are 

 reduced to spurs 1 mm. long. 



149 o. All the leaves are reduced to spurs. 



b. Only one leaf present, the other two being mere spurs. 



151 a. This flower has twelve stamens each with a filament 

 7 mm. long and an anther 8 mm. long. 



152 a. The sepals are red and green and the place of the 

 petals is taken by three stamens having red filaments 6 mm. long 

 and green anthers 6 mm. long. 



b. The sepals are red-veined and interpolated between 

 the sepals and petals are six extra stamens, green in color and 

 having filaments 5 mm. long and anthers 8 mm. long.
