with the result shown in Table 2/10.

The fourteen crossed plants average in height 81.39 inches and the
fourteen self-fertilised plants 64.07, or as 100 to 79. One
self-fertilised plant in Pot 3 exceeded, and one in Pot 4 equalled in
height, its opponent. The self-fertilised plants showed no sign of
inheriting the precocious growth of their parents; this having been due,
as it would appear, to the abnormal state of the seeds from the
unhealthiness of their parents. The fourteen self-fertilised plants
yielded only forty spontaneously self-fertilised capsules, to which must
be added seven, the product of ten flowers artificially self-fertilised.
On the other hand, the fourteen crossed plants yielded 152 spontaneously
self-fertilised capsules; but thirty-six flowers on these plants were
crossed (yielding thirty-three capsules), and these flowers would
probably have produced about thirty spontaneously self-fertilised
capsules. Therefore an equal number of the crossed and self-fertilised
plants would have produced capsules in the proportion of about 182 to
47, or as 100 to 26. Another phenomenon was well pronounced in this
generation, but I believe had occurred previously to a slight extent;
namely, that most of the flowers on the self-fertilised plants were
somewhat monstrous. The monstrosity consisted in the corolla being
irregularly split so that it did not open properly, with one or two of
the stamens slightly foliaceous, coloured, and firmly coherent to the
corolla. I observed this monstrosity in only one flower on the crossed
plants. The self-fertilised plants, if well nourished, would almost
certainly, in a few more generations, have produced double flowers, for
they had already become in some degree sterile. (2/1. See on this
