DARWIN*, in considering the origin of sterility, describes a condition of anther not uncommonly found amongst the Caryophyllaces, Liliaces, and Ericaces. The ant, httr in this condition is more or less shrivelled up or aborted and contains no pollen. Darwin gave the condition the name “contabescence,” and he described how it might be propagated by ‘(layers,”‘‘cuttings,” etc., and even perhaps by seed.CF Gartner t first observed the condition and considered it due to an inherent tendency in the species to become dicecious; he also describes the sudden appearance of sterility in the female organs. Bateson $ observed the same phenomenon in the Sweet Pea, and found it was associated with coloured axils in certain families and was recessive to fertile anthers. Working for some time on the heredity of colour and other characters in Potatoes, I have met the phenomenon of contabescence and have been able to show that it is in the Potato a dominant hereditary character. No association has been clearly established between this condition and any other feature; but so far I have not met with a pale heliotrope potato-flower, such as seen in ‘‘Up-to-date,” that bears pollen in its anthers, and, further, such heliotrope flowers as I have been able to analyse have been always heterozygotes as regards “sterility.” The evidence for the dominance and segregation of this type of sterility is as follows:--
