Gen: Con:

the two species of Lobelia & of the individuals of Nicotiana. The species belonging to distinct genera in the same family certainly differ in this respect. as may is be seen in my tables. The effects of cross-and self-fertilisation may be confined either to the growth or fertility of the offspring, but generally extends to both qualities. There does not seem to exist any close correspondence relation between the degree of adaptation of in flowers for cross-fertilisation such as for to the visits of insects of certain groups of insects, and the degree to which these offspring profit by this process we may easily err on this head, as cross fertilisation; but there there are two caused effectually ensuring means which ensuring cross-fertilisation which are not internally distinguishable perceptible, namely self-sel-sterility and the prepotent fertilising influence of pollen from another individual. Lastly it has been shown in a former chapter that there is no close correspondence between the number of seeds produced either by the parent-plants, or by their crossed  self-fertilised offspring, when they these are fertilised by pollen from another plant & & or by their own pollen, and the height, vigour or fertility of the offspring raised from from, such
