Self-sterility is often associated with unusual powers of vegetative propagation. 

 In many cases related species behave differently with respect to their fertility or 

 infertility as regards their own pollen. For example : — 

 Self-sieriU. Self-fertile. 



Ranunculus acris (Focke). R. auricomus (Focke). 



R. bulbosus? (Focke). R. arvensis (Focke).

The following are Self-fertile, i.e. perfecdy fruitful (or, at least, not greatly 

 weakened) in the absence of insects ' : —

' In addition to the cases of self-fertility given here, many others have been described, especially 

 by Henslow, Meehan, Pedicino, and Wilson. It is impossible to enumerate them in this place 

 (cf. p. 23).
