Lupinus luteus

Two seeds from cross with distinct plant (by caps with pollen) growing close by; & g 9 seeds from self-fertilised from same plant as above from 2 pods on same whorl with fertilised pod. Planted Nov. 4th 2° 15' P. m. —

No. 1. Nov. 7th about 2° A.m. germinated. but planted 24° before others

No. 2, No 2. died) 3. germ at 2° Am Novr 7th

No 4. germ. at 7° 30' A.m. Novr 7th

― 5. germ. at 2° P.m. Nov. 7th

― 6 Uncrossed— germ. at 4° Am. Nov. 8

― 7 do. germ. at 7° A.m. do

― 8 do. do at 7' ― Nov. 9th. — uncrossed seeds. germinated first

― 9 & 10 Both crossed on 7th ― Nov. 10th

(Dec. 1st Pot I No' 10 crossed same height (viz 4 inches to base of leaflets of tallest leaf) with no 4 3 do not & taller than other plant— No 3.)

(Dec. 1 Pot 2. Crossed no 9. 3. 6/8 inch high, (as before) No 8. 3.0 inch high & taller than other plants, germinated [illeg] day

(31A

(Dec. 30th Plant no' 4 is now a shade taller than no. 10.)

(Feb. 10th Plant no' 9 the finest & much most healthy of all 3 plants

― — — 10' do do do. do. —)

(March 21. Crossed plants no 9 & 10 are now on point of flowering, but only 9 inches high & healthy — It is clear planting in autumn in greenhouse most injurious: One of self-fert plants, which is very unhealthy, yet is going soon to flower is 8 inches high: all the others are wretched & will mostly die. —)

(June 3d Only 1 self-fert plant set pod, a single one. One of Crossed Plants produced 5 pods & the other 8 pods & pods finer.)

Lupinus luteus. 1867.

The crossed plants, were again crossed, & four flowers produced pods with 4, 3, 3, & 3 seeds.

The self-fert plants spontaneously produced under net many pods; containing 26 pods contained on average 4.08 seed, (with several pods containing 5 seed)— Hence self-fertile more fertile, but this often occurs with Lupinus, as they apparently require successive applications of pollen, & own pollen was brushed away. —

These seeds will be give plants of 2d generation

(May 10' /68/ in all Pots, plants 4 inches to tip of leaves & crossed rather finest & tallest. — great difference in plants in red Calceolaria Pot)

(Jun 20 In pot I, II & III The self have flowered first!)

(see next page for measurement)

Lupinus luteus. The plants on p. 31. B in greenhouse have now arrived at full height. —

[31Cv]

some germinated seed was planted on each side of pot of Calceolaria

Crossed 21 1/2 — 18 in.

Self 20 — 9 1/2.

So that of all 8 eight matched plants the crossed in every case the tallest.

(The plant were left to fertilise themselves uncovered in greenhouse, where few Bees entered & they set very badly & produced only bad & empty Pods.

All the crossed Plants produced only 9 good pods containing 31 seeds, average 3.4.

All the self Plants produced only 7. good pods containing 5 21 seed, on average 3. 0 3. 5 seed. per pod.)
