SUMMARY. 67 



trichomes. Should each kind of trichome represent a distinct character, 

 as seems possible, we have here several methods by which unit characters 

 may take their origin. 



(7) \njuglans there is no direct relation between the size or vigor of 

 the leaves or plant and the size of the trichomes, although position on 

 the leaves directly affects size and form of the trichomes. 



(8) In the second generation of Jiiglans calif arnica X Jug fans nigra the 

 short secreting" trichome, in size and form, reverted to nigra. No other 

 case of reversion to one pure line, of a character of trichome common to 

 both pure lines, was observed \njuglans.
