Besides the experiments in Table 4.24, I fertilised a considerable number of mid-styled flowers with pollen, taken by a camel’s-hair brush, from both the longest and shortest stamens of their own form: only 5 capsules were produced, and these yielded on an average 11.0 seeds.

Too sterile for any average. Besides the experiments in the table, I fertilised a number of flowers without particular care with their own two kinds of pollen, but they did not produce a single capsule. SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS. LONG-STYLED FORM. Twenty-six flowers fertilised legitimately by the stamens of corresponding length, borne by the mid-and short-styled forms, yielded 61.5 per cent of capsules, which contained on an average 89.7 seeds. Twenty-six long-styled flowers fertilised illegitimately by the other stamens of the mid-and short-styled forms yielded only two very poor capsules.
