Plantago lanceolata dimorphs (How I used this?)

G. Ch. 1864 p. 293 (See H Müller)

[Forms of flowers, p. 306: "Plantago lanceolata (Plantagineæ).—Delpino states that this plant presents in Italy three forms, which graduate from an anemophilous into an entomophilous condition. According to H. Müller,* there are only two forms in Germany, neither of which show any special adaptation for insect fertilisation, and both appear to be hermaphrodites. But I have found in two localities in England female and hermaphrodite forms existing together; and the same fact has been noticed by others.†

[A59v]

In class of Dimorphism I shall allude to Ray Florets & on poison nature

see Gard. Chron. 1861 p. 1067

[Forms of flowers, p. 6: "Moreover they often contain matter which is excessively poisonous to insects, as may be seen in the use of flea-powder, and in the case of Pyrethrum, M. Belhomme has shown that the ray-florets are more poisonous than the disc-florets in the ratio of about three to two. We may therefore believe that the ray-florets are useful in protecting the flowers from being gnawed by insects.†
