In a great many plants the pollen, in order to accomplish the most successful fertilization, must come from another plant of the same kind, not from the indi- vidual which bears the ovules that are being fertilized. Pollen tubes begin to form soon after pollen grains lodge on the stigma. The time required for the tube to penetrate to the ovary varies in different kinds of plants. Finally the tube enters the opening at the apex of the.
