ON TURNERA ULMJFOLIA. 
113 
obviously larger when ripe than those of the short-styled. As 
regards number of seeds : 139 capsules were taken at random 
from the three long-styled plants and 93 capsules from the 
short-styled. The former contained 1,298 good seeds, or an 
average of 9*4 per capsule ; the latter contained 481 seeds, 
being only 5*2 per capsule on the average. 
From seed of the long-styled form legitimately pollinated 
by bees I raised eleven long-styled and ten short-styled 
plants, and from short-styled legitimately pollinated two 
long-styled and three short-styled plants, ix., in each case a 
nearly equal number of each form. These examined at the 
end of September showed an extraordinary difference in the 
production of capsules by the two forms. On the long-styled 
plants almost every flower had produced a fine large capsule; 
on plants of the short-styled form only a few miserable 
capsules could be found, and this was the case with plants 
grown from the seed of either form. 
I give the actual figures for a plant of each form, the two 
plants being of very nearly the same size.
