CHAPTER II. HYBRID PRIMULAS. The oxlip a hybrid naturally produced between Primula veris and vulgaris.--The differences in structure and function between the two parent-species.--Effects of crossing long-styled and short-styled oxlips with one another and with the two forms of both parent-species.--Character of the offspring from oxlips artificially self-fertilised and cross-fertilised in a state of nature.--Primula elatior shown to be a distinct species.--Hybrids between other heterostyled species of Primula.--Supplementary note on spontaneously produced hybrids in the genus Verbascum. CHAPTER III. HETEROSTYLED DIMORPHIC PLANTS--continued. Linum grandiflorum, long-styled form utterly sterile with own-form pollen.-- Linum perenne, torsion of the pistils in the long-styled form alone.--Homostyled species of Linum.--Pulmonaria officinalis, singular difference in self-fertility between the English and German long-styled plants.--Pulmonaria angustifolia shown to be a distinct species, long-styled form completely self-sterile.-- Polygonum fagopyrum.--Various other heterostyled genera.--Rubiaceae.--Mitchella repens, fertility of the flowers in pairs.--Houstonia.--Faramea, remarkable difference in the pollen-grains of the two forms; torsion of the stamens in the short-styled form alone; development not as yet perfect.--The heterostyled structure in the several Rubiaceous genera not due to descent in common. |
