P. elatior x P. officinalis : 31-6 % good, 69-63 % shrivelled and useless. 

 P. elatior (average of flowers from Schonen): 33 % normal, 67 % shrivelled and 

 useless. 



P. elatior X P. per-officinalis (from Schonen): 45% normal, the rest shrivelled 

 and useless. 



P. vulgaris X P. elatior : 66-9 % normal. 

 P. vulgaris (per-acaulis) x P. elatior : 78 % normal. 



These results appear to be confirmed by the number of seeds developed in the 

 different cases.
