Thanks Mr Beaton for his answer [to 3147].
Asks further questions on points raised in Beaton’s previous papers: whether crossing white and blue varieties of Anemone apennina produced many pale shades; whether the Mathiola incana and M. glabra which crossed freely were artificially or naturally crossed.
CD is delighted by Beaton’s assertion that "not a flower in a thousand is fertilised by its own immediate pollen".
Recounts his experiments with Leschenaultia formosa to show insect fertilisation.
