Primula sinensis.
A legitimately crossed plant flowered before any one of the self-fertilised plants in seven out of the eight pots.
Fagopyrum esculentum.
A legitimately crossed plant flowered from one to two days before any one of the self-fertilised plants in all three pots.
Zea mays.
In all four pots a crossed plant flowered first.
Phalaris canariensis.
The crossed plants flowered before the self-fertilised in the open ground, but simultaneously in the pots.
SPECIES OF WHICH THE FIRST PLANTS THAT FLOWERED WERE OF SELF-FERTILISED PARENTAGE.
Eschscholtzia californica (First Generation).
The crossed plants were at first taller than the self-fertilised, but on their second growth during the following year the self-fertilised exceeded the crossed in height, and now they flowered first in three out of the four pots.
Lupinus luteus.
Although the crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 82; yet in all three pots the self-fertilised plants flowered first.
Clarkia elegans.
Although the crossed plants were, as in the last case, to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 82, yet in the two pots the self-fertilised flowered first.
Lobelia fulgens (First Generation).
The crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height only as 100 to 127, and the latter flowered much before the crossed.
Petunia violacea (Third Generation).
The crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 131, and in three out of the four pots a self-fertilised plant flowered first; in the fourth pot simultaneously.
Petunia violacea (Fourth generation).
Although the crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 69, yet in three out of the five pots a self-fertilised plant flowered first; in the fourth pot simultaneously, and only in the fifth did a crossed plant flower first.
Nicotiana tabacum (First Generation).
The crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height only as 100 to 178, and a self-fertilised plant flowered first in all four pots.
Nicotiana tabacum (Third Generation).
The crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 101, and in four out of the five pots a self-fertilised plant flowered first.
Canna warscewiczi.
In the three generations taken together the crossed were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 101; in the first generation the self-fertilised plants showed some tendency to flower first, and in the third generation they flowered first in nine out of the twelve pots.
SPECIES IN WHICH THE CROSSED AND SELF-FERTILISED PLANTS FLOWERED ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Mimulus luteus (Sixth Generation).
The crossed plants were inferior in height and vigour to the self-fertilised plants, which all belonged to the new white-flowered tall variety, yet in only half the pots did the self-fertilised plants flower first, and in the other half the crossed plants.
Viscaria oculata.
The crossed plants were only a little taller than the self-fertilised (namely, as 100 to 97), but considerably more fertile, yet both lots flowered almost simultaneously.
Lathyrus odoratus (Second Generation).
Although the crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 88, yet there was no marked difference in their period of flowering.
Lobelia fulgens (Second Generation).
Although the crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 91, yet they flowered simultaneously.
Nicotiana tabacum (Third Generation).
Although the crossed plants were to the self-fertilised in height as 100 to 83, yet in half the pots a self-fertilised plant flowered first, and in the other half a crossed plant.]
These three lists include fifty-eight cases, in which the period of flowering of the crossed and self-fertilised plants was recorded. In forty-four of them a crossed plant flowered first either in a majority of the pots or in all; in nine instances a self-fertilised plant flowered first, and in five the two lots flowered simultaneously. One of the most striking cases is that of Cyclamen, in which the crossed plants flowered some weeks before the self-fertilised in all four pots during two seasons.
