NEVER OPENING FLOWERS.
A Large Number Of Plants Bear cleis
toqamous Blossoms.


The never opening flower or. as bot
anists call 1t, cleistogamy is we'll illus
trated by the case of the common
sweet violet. The familiar purple
sweet scented blossom. which to most
people is the violet flower. hardly ever
produces any seed But altogether un-
seen by most people it produces
number of minute. scentless and col
oriess flowers which never open
These are self fertiized and produce
abundant seed. The word cIeiS1og
amous expresses the fact that the
fertilization takes place without the
opening of the flower and hence with
out the agency of insects. Such never
opening flowers occur in large num-
Der of plants. sometimes along with
blossoms of the ordinary sort and
sometimes without them. 1t is dis
puted point, however. whether there
is any plant which in all circumstances
will produce nothing but cleistogamous
flowers.
There are nevertheless a number
which normally produce nothing else.
AS regards fertility. the seeds pro-
duced by the cleistogamous flowers are
never inferior to those of the ordinary
blossoms In some cases they are su-
perior and in others they are the only
seed produced By the plant.
1t has been found that the amount OF
cleistogamy varies with the height OF
the plants. The shortest bear cieis,
togamic flowers only. and those lit.
tie taller have few small open flow
ers in addition to the closed ones The
talest plants have larger open flow
ers. with only Il few cleistosamic.-
