parents, and whether the yellow colour was supplied by pollen or 
by the ovule made ne difference. 
In the next generation, however, there were many plants 
with perfectly white flowers exactly lke their Jari or Ban 
grandparents, and also some of a pale colour. In some cases 
these were observed to fade to a terra-cotta colour like the 
yellow flowers, in others to turn pink like the white flowers. 
The yellow and pale flowers were large and open like the 
“herbaceums,” and a few of the white were also large. But 
nearly all the white flowers were small and like those of Jaz? in 
shape, and there were no small yellow flowers observed. 
The following is the distribution of flowers in the next 
generation :—

In some beds notes were not made of the flowers of all the 
plants, for some did not appear to flower at all, others only 
seldom, and continuous work not being possible, these latter were 
sometimes missed.
