This reverses the condition shown on page 41. 



Here also the pollen-bearing tassel and the grain-forming 



ovules are together, but they are located in the axils of the leaves instead

different species are hybridized. The mingling 



oJ the strains of the primitive Teosinie 



and the cultivated corn brings out 



latent hereditary tendencies.
