| notes: | Stachys sylvatica, L., monstrosity. This curious form has been noticed in the same spot for several years, and by Miss Ridley's kind direction I was enabled to gather it. It grows in considerable quantity, and varies considerably. The conspicuous form is one in which there is dialysis of the carpels, in which, owing to imperfect disjunction, the bilobed carpels are changed into a nearly one-celled capsule. With this is a great reduction in length of the corolla tube, while the corolla is less labiate than usual. For notes on the abnormal gynoecium of this species, see A.W. Bartlett in New Phyt., 139, 1909; and Knuth, Handb. Poll., 191. [Diagram of flower attached] |
| Filing note: | Stachys sylvatica var monstrosa |
