Wood Sorell—

Aug. 7th 1863

The 2 Plants with sticks, ie long-style produced no seed — probably accident

The short-styled produced only one seed with own pollen — but some with pollen of other form; & the little imperfect flower produced seed.—

Most importantly I mingled seed— There seemed great difference in size, markings & colour of 2 kinds of seed!—

Not one flower [illeg] produced any seed— but a multitude of capsules were lost—

Probably all these results accidental & useless.—
