A NOTE ON THE OCCURRENCE OF SMALL OUT GROWTHS ON THE CALYX RING OF THE COTTON FLOWER

Abstract

The author of this note has observed for the past four seasons (1929-33) some peculiar out-growths or organs on the calyx ring of flowers produced in one of the pure lines of cotton, No. 54, a North- erns' Selection (Gossypium indicum) grown on the Agricultural Rese- arch Station, Nandyal. A fair percentage of flowers produced by this culture were found to have these organs, three in number and about two or three millimeters long when fully developed. Sometimes, only two, also one, either fully developed or in a rudimentary stage have been noticed in the flower.
