CROSSED AND SELF-FERTILISED PLANTS OF THE TENTH GENERATION. Six plants were raised in the usual manner from the crossed plants of the last generation (Table 2/10) again intercrossed, and from the self-fertilised again self-fertilised. As one of the crossed plants in Pot 1 in Table 2/11 became much diseased, having crumpled leaves, and producing hardly any capsules, it and its opponent have been struck out of the table. TABLE 2/11. Ipomoea purpurea (Tenth Generation). Heights of Plants in inches: Column 1: Number (Name) of Pot. Column 2: Crossed Plants. Column 3: Self-fertilised Plants. Pot 1 : 92 3/8 : 47 2/8. Pot 1 : 94 4/8 : 34 6/8. Pot 2 : 87 : 54 4/8. Pot 2 : 89 5/8 : 49 2/8. Pot 2 : 105 : 66 2/8. Total : 468.5 : 252.0. |
