Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882

"Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom"


Tropaeolum minus--crossed and self-fertilised plants, left uncovered in
the greenhouse, produced seeds in number: 64.
Limnanthes douglasii--crossed and self-fertilised plants, left uncovered
in the greenhouse, produced capsules in number (about): 100.
Lupinus luteus--crossed and self-fertilised plants of the 2nd
generation, left uncovered in the greenhouse, produced seeds in number
(judged from only a few pods): 88.
Phaseolus multiflorus--crossed and self-fertilised plants, left
uncovered in the greenhouse, produced seeds in number (about): 100.
Lathyrus odoratus--crossed and self-fertilised plants of the 2nd
generation, left uncovered in the greenhouse, but certainly
self-fertilised, produced pods in number: 91.
Clarkia elegans--crossed and self-fertilised plants, left uncovered in
the greenhouse, produced capsules in number: 60.
Nemophila insignis--crossed and self-fertilised plants, covered by a net
and spontaneously self-fertilised in the greenhouse, produced capsules
in number: 29.
Petunia violacea--left uncovered and cross-fertilised by insects: plants
of the 5th intercrossed and self-fertilised generations produced seeds,
as judged by the weight of an equal number of capsules: 86.
Petunia violacea--left uncovered as above: offspring of plants
self-fertilised for four generations and then crossed by a fresh stock,
compared with plants of the 5th self-fertilised generation, produced
seeds, as judged by the weight of an equal number of capsules: 46.
