"The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species"

Illegitimate union
:
12 : 5 : 30.0.
Mid-styled by pollen of mid-length stamens of long-styled. Legitimate union :
3 : 3 : 63.6.
Mid-styled by pollen of mid-length stamens of short-styled. Legitimate union :
4 : 4 : 56.3.
Mid-styled by mixed pollen from both own-form longest and shortest stamens.
Illegitimate union :
9 : 2 : 19.
Mid-styled by pollen of longest stamens of short-styled. Illegitimate union :
12 : 1 : 8.
Short-styled by pollen of shortest stamens of mid-styled. Legitimate union:
3 : 2 : 67.
Short-styled by pollen of shortest stamens of long-styled. Legitimate union:
3 : 3 : 54.3.
Short-styled by pollen of own-form longest stamens. Illegitimate union:
5 : 1 : 8.
Short-styled by pollen of own-form mid-length stamens. Illegitimate union :
3 : 0 : 0.
Short-styled by both pollens mixed together, of own-form longest and mid-length
stamens. Illegitimate union:
13 : 0 : 0.
Short-styled by pollen of longest stamens of mid-styled. Illegitimate union :
7 : 0 : 0.
Short-styled by pollen of mid-length stamens of long-styled. Illegitimate union:
10 : 1 : 54.
We here see that thirty-six flowers on the three forms legitimately fertilised
yielded 30 capsules, these containing on an average 58.36 seeds. Ninety-five
flowers illegitimately fertilised yielded 12 capsules, containing on an average
28.
