Heterostylism in OxaUs 



different types of Mid-styled plant, and possibly two different types 

 of Short-styled plant. We get clear evidence for different Mids in 

 the 1912 numbers to follow. But in Table IV, if we consider cross 31 

 and its reciprocal 32, we get 65 Longs : 59 Mids : 130 Shorts. In 

 cross 33 and its reciprocal 34, where the same individual Mid parent 

 is used, we get 19 Longs : IS Mids : 87 Shorts. This may be taken as 

 doubtfid evidence for a second type of Short-styled plant.
