CROSSED AND SELF-FERTILISED PLANTS OF THE FOURTH GENERATION (RAISED FROM THE PLANTS IN POT 1, TABLE 6/79).
Crossed and self-fertilised seeds from plants of the last generation in Pot 1 in Table 6/79, were placed on sand, and after germinating, were planted in pairs on the opposite sides of four pots. The seedlings when in full flower were measured to the base of the calyx. The remaining seeds were sown crowded on the two sides of Pot 5; and the four tallest plants on each side of this pot were measured in the same manner.
