Long-styled by pollen of short-styled. Legitimate union :
22 : 15 : 14 : 8.8 : 62.
Long-styled by own-form pollen. Illegitimate union :
20 : 8 : 5 : 2.1 : 42.
Short-styled by pollen of long-styled. Legitimate union :
13 : 12 : 11 : 4.9 : 44.
Short-styled by own-form pollen. Illegitimate union :
15 : 8 : 6 : 1.8 : 30.
SUMMARY:
The two legitimate unions :
35 : 27 : 25 : 13.7 : 54.
The two illegitimate unions :
35 : 16 : 11 : 3.9 : 35.
The results may be given in another form (Table 1.7) by comparing, first, the
number of capsules, whether good or bad, or of the good alone, produced by 100
flowers of both forms when legitimately and illegitimately fertilised; secondly,
by comparing the weight of seed in 100 of these capsules, whether good or bad;
or, thirdly, in 100 of the good capsules.
