430 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
The literature bearing on this problem is now fairly extensive, 
but little has been written concerning the possible relationship 
between the fertility characters of the fruit and its position on the 
inflorescence axis. 
It should be evident that the differences in the proportion of 
fruits developing at different positions on the inflorescence present 
a series of problems of morphogenetic and physiological signi- 
fieance. Unfortunately the systematic collection of data for the 
solution of such problems has hardly been begun.
