Eschscholtzia californica—­(Brazilian stock grown in England) crossed and self-fertilised flowers yielded seeds (by weight) as (about):  15.

Delphinium consolida—­crossed and self-fertilised flowers (self-fertilised capsules spontaneously produced, but result supported by other evidence) yielded seeds as:  59.

Viscaria oculata—­crossed and self-fertilised flowers yielded seeds as (by weight):  38.

Tropaeolum minus—­crossed and self-fertilised flowers yielded seeds as:  92.

Tropaeolum tricolorum—­crossed and self-fertilised flowers yielded seeds as:  115. (9/1.  Tropaeolum tricolorum and Cuphea purpurea have been introduced into this table, although seedlings were not raised from them; but of the Cuphea only six crossed and six self-fertilised capsules, and of the Tropaeolum only six crossed and eleven self-fertilised capsules, were compared.  A larger proportion of the self-fertilised than of the crossed flowers of the Tropaeolum produced fruit.)
