Linaria vulgaris. Linaria vulgaris. self & spontaneously fertilised under nets, were very sterile compared to plants outside— & I raised some seedlings of the two; under every condition similar in every respect.— The self-fert. plants, though not quite so thick in pot. & so better mounted were shorter— The 3 tallest plants here given — Of the naturally crossed plants, I took 3 tall ones by chance.

These latter certainly taller & not drawn up by being too crowded

(In Antirrhinum majus the peloric seedlings by own pollen conspicuously smaller, than peloric mother by common pollen; or than common Antirrhinum by peloric pollen.

Delphinium Consolida — seedlings from self & spontaneously fert flowers, of the same size as some seedlings from flowers crossed with pollen from other flowers, & I believe from other plants. — No difference. Hence no harm from interbreeding —
