Acta Acad St. Petersburg. 1778 P. 1. p. 219. Koelreuter on hybrid Lycia. –

Asia Lycium barbarum ♀&

C. Good. Hope ― afrum ♂

The reverse tried on same year & date & durng three years, on many (2 + 15 + 20) flowers – Concepcio nulla. –

(Gaertner only one experiment on L. barbarum & Europaeum.)

if L. barbarum be flourishing in fertile soil & "sub dio, impregnatio prospero satis succedat, rarius autem, si in oltana transplantata sit." This is important as showing the similarity of hybrid & ordinary mal-concepcion. – The hybrid- seeds germinated copiously – The young many hybrid plants were far more precocious than either parent & were much taller at times when the L. Barbarum was quite low & showed not vestige of flowers –

In following year they were proud with flowers, when neither L. Barbarum & much less L. Afrum are not accustomed to flower – The same happened on following years

These hybrids seem intermediate between parents, except that stem much taller & thicker than in either parent (& we have seen more precocious) – They produced one or two seeds in each cell of bacca

p. 221. as the L. barbarum can only just bear our (regione Carlsruhensi in Suevia) (a) ordinary winters, when united with nature of L. Afri is never accustomed to it. – This marvellous considering hybrids were more precocious. –
I believe this is right translated

These hybrids produced plants grandchildren which more resembled in their narrow leaves the L. Afrum than their hybrid parents – They were so tender that thy all perished first winter & therefore (I presume as Don says L. barbarum H. & L. Afrum G.) they were in constitution also more like their grandfather L. Afrum than their hybrid parents. – If there has been no mistake here, this is case of avitism, & return to parent, least suited to climate

[59v]

(a) Suavia in D. Butler is in 52° N.

in Hall there is a Carlruhe in 51°. N. & 18°. East. which corresponds is in Silesia –

There is another lying more more S. & W. – in Lat 49°

L. Afrum ♂.

Plants from this cross resembled those in last experiment (hence my supposition of mistake) & met with same fate. –

p. 222 L. Afrum ♀ (G.)

L. Europaeum ♂ (H.) S. of Europe

Many Hybrid plants raised, during two years, were exactly intermediate between parents. As were two raised from

nverse impregnation of above. –

L. barbarum ♀

L. Europaeum ♂ Quite failed with Gaertner

Very few seeds, whence one hybrid was raised like both parents. – Inverse failed. –

L. barbarum ♀

L. Afrum ♂ ♀

L. Europaeum ♂ – failed
