8vo Pamphlet (660) Hildebrand on fertility of Eschscholtzia californica in Germany

[Insectivorous plants, p. 110: "* Professor Hildebrand experimented on plants in Germany on a larger scale than I did, and found them much more self-fertile. Eighteen capsules, produced by cross-fertilisation, contained on an average eighty-five seeds, whilst fourteen capsules from self-fertilised flowers contained on an average only nine seeds; that is, as 100 to 11: 'Jahrb. für Wissen Botanik.' B. vii. page 467."]
