Frank observed found at High Elms only 5 petioles of Robinia drawn in & 4/5 by base & pulvinus gnawed (Nov. 27th)

Nov 29' at the Teesdales — 9 drawn in by apex & 7 by base — 1 transversely.

1 [+] 9 [=] 10 drawn in by apex

4 [+] 7 [=] 11 — by base

Feb 16th 1881 Petioles of Robinia (Teesdale)

All these must have been drawn in since Frank last visit on Feb. 5th

By apex 16 [+] 19 [=] 35

By base 19

I think cause of so many being drawn in by base may be the extreme attenuation of the upper part of the 16 drawn in by apex 7 had extreme terminal attenuated part broken off.

(one 11 1/2 inches long)

Fagopyrum esculentum

This plant was discovered by Hildebrand to be heterostyled, that is to present like the species of Primula, a long-styled and short-styled form, which are adapted for reciprocal for fertilisation.

The following comparison, therefore, of the growth of the crossed and self-fertilised seedlings is not fair, for we do not know whether the difference between them may not be wholly due to the illegitimate fertilisation of the self-fertilised flowers.

I obtained seeds by legitimately crossing flowers
