These Homomorphic unions of the Homomorphic seedlings are more fertile than the hom. unions of the Heteromorphic seedlings in proportion to 46 to 31! — It agrees with this that these 9 plants, all long-styled gave 11 pods with some seeds; whereas 11 plants of the Heteromorphic seedlings, whereas produced only 4 pods!

Possibly this agrees with considerable fertility of the mid-styled lots, when self-fertilised. It certainly appears as of plants rendered in some degree self fertile to propagate race.—

We have also seen that the pollen of no. 3, when used on the heteromorphic seedling is nearly good, as it gave average of 52 seeds, (with one very good pod)

The results very surprising I fertilised 8 fl. heteromorphically & got only 6 pods & one of these contained only 4 seed & may be rejected in average, which is only 29 seed taking nearest whole less,less than half average (i.e 62) of similar union of Heteromorphic seedlings.

Of the Homomorphic 8 union, I got only 3 good pods, giving average of only 24 seeds.

The female organs are imperfect for I crossed 6 fl with pollen of perfect flowers of Heteromorphic seedlings & got 5 pods, which produced on average only 8 see per pod! The pollen itself is much better for I crossed heteromorphically 4 flowers of Heteromorphic seedlings with above pollen of no. 4, & got on average 50 seeds per pod! Yet the pollen not quite so good as ho the pollen of heteromorphic for this would have produced 62 seeds per pod.—

We have seen in no. 3 a very different state of things, the male & female organs being brought into some harmony, but both being with inferior degenerated in fertility except with each other.
