compared. The self-fertility of Primula veris increased after several generations of illegitimate fertilisation, which is a process closely analogous to self-fertilisation, but only as long as the plants were cultivated under the same favourable conditions. I have also elsewhere shown* (*Journal Linn Soc Bot Vol X 1867 p. 417 & 419) that with Primula Veries & sinensis, equal-styled varieties occasionally appear which possess the sexual organs of the two forms combined in the same flower. Consequently they fertilise themselves in a legitimate manner and are highly self-fertile but the remarkable fact is that they are rather more fertile than ordinary plants of the same species legitimately fertilised by pollen from a distant individual.
