While the series of material is too limited to permit of indulging in generalizations, it might be of interest to note that on 40 plants bearing 332 seed pods, taken from two square feet of ground, September 4, and 3 other plants producing 130 seed pods, taken at the same time, not a single pod developed from an axillary cluster was found. These plants, however, with the exception of the last three, represent all produced on a definite area. It might not be improbable that the smaller, crowded plants would not be so likely to produce axillary clusters as the larger plants growing under more favorable conditions. We may at least conclude from this that the axillary flowers are of little consequence in the seed-producing capacity of the plant. For the sake of convenience, it has been deemed advisable to summarize in table E the conditions of the flowers and buds which will probably open the day following, as given in table D. From this table, it will be seen that on the day the plants were examined 42 flowers were open—5.4 per cent. of the 773 buds produced on the 10 plants. These flowers as well as the buds, 36 in number, which were to open the next day, are equally divided into right-and left-handed. The buds which are next to open do not, in any of the cases noted in the above tables, occur on a cluster with flowers which are already open. TABLE E.

There seems to be no law governing the production of right-and left-handed flowers on the opposite sides of the main axis of the plant. Sometimes two right-or left-handed flowers will be produced in succession on one side of the raceme, and sometimes right-and left-handed alternate on the same side.
