294 FE1U0D OF FLOWERING OF Chai\ VIII. 



Species, of which the first Plants that flowered were of 

 Self-fertilised Parentage. 



Eschsclioltzia californica (First Generation). The crossed plants 

 were at first taller than the self-fertilised, but on their second 

 growth during the following year the self-fertilised exceeded 

 the crossed in height, and now they flowered first in three 

 out of the four pots. 



Liipinus luteus. Although the crossed plants were to the self- 

 fertilised in height as 100 to 82 ; yet in all three pots tho 

 self-fertilised plants flowered first. 



Clarhia elegans. Although the crossed plants were, as in the 

 last case, to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 82, yet in 

 the two pots the self-fertilised flowered first. 



Lobelia fulgens (First Generation). The crossed plants were to 

 the self-fertilised in height only as 100 to 127, and the latter 

 flowered much before the crossed. 



Petunia violacea (Third Generation). The crossed plants were 

 to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 131, and in three 

 out of the four pots a self-fertilised plant flowered first ; in 

 the fourth pot simultaneously. 



Petunia violacea (Fourth Generation). Although the crossed 

 plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 69/yet 

 in three out of the five pots a self-fertilised plant flowered 

 first ; in the fourth pot simultaneously, and only in the fifth 

 did a crossed plant flower first. 



Nicotiana tabacum (First Generation). The crossed plants 

 were to the self-fertilised in height only as 100 to 178, and 

 a self-fertilised plant flowered first in all four pots. 



Nicotiana tabacum (Third Generation). The crossed plants 

 were to the self-fertilised in height as .100 to 101, and in 

 four out of the five pots a self-fertilised plant flowered first. 



Canna warsceiuiczi, In the three generations taken together the 

 crossed were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 101 ; in 

 the first generation the self-fertilised plants showed some 

 tendency to flower first, and in the third generation they 

 flowered first in nine out of the twelve pots. 



Species in which the Grossed and Self-fertilised Plants 

 flowered almost simultaneously. 

 Mimulus luteus (Sixth Generation). The crossed plants wero 

 inferior in height and vigour to the self-fertilised plant3
