"Vegetable Teratology," London, 1869 (Ray Soc.).) will soon appear, for I am sure it will be highly instructive.
Now for your notes, for which let me again thank you.
1.

Your conclusion about parts developed (99/2.

See "Origin of Species," Edition I., page 153, on the variability of parts "developed in an extraordinary manner in any one species, compared with the other species of the same genus." See "Life and Letters," II., pages 97, 98, also Letter 33.) not being extra variable agrees with Hooker's.

You will see that I have stated that the rule apparently does not hold with plants, though it ought, if true, to hold good with them.
2.

I cannot now remember in what work I saw the statement about Peloria affecting the axis, but I know it was one which I thought might be trusted.
