Observations upon Plants Growing neab Burmont 



and Lansdowne. 



Remarks. 



Many other racemes noticed in the latter locality yielded 

 no legumes. 



These statistics are quite sufficient to prove that Amphi- 

 carpcea monoica produces legumes from purple flowers in as 

 large proportion as the Leguminosre generally, though not 

 at all equal to some well-known genera. As is the case 

 with all plants, however, some years yield better returns 

 than others. The legumes are neither few nor difficult to 

 find. Certainly the statements found in all the Manuals 

 concerning the usually sterile condition of the flowers, are 

 erroneous. 



{b) Legumes from Other Flowers. 



Rarely do the green aerial {b) fail to produce fruit, these 

 exceptions being due to the appearance of the flowers so 

 late in the season, that the temperature does not permit 

 their maturing, (c) For the terrestrial flowers the results 

 are practically as given above.
