More information on these two characters is highly desirable, because of their economic importance. The loculi of the ovary.—The inheritance of this meristic character is of peculiar inteirest, since it is not a character of form, but of distribution, and analogous to such "things as the number of ray-florets in the Compositce. A cross (Fig. 63) between an Upland with its mean at 4-3 and an Egyptian with a mean at 3"0 produced an intermediate Fi with the formula 4-1. In Fj this family M 2.
