Abstract
MY recent statement (Trans. Roy. Soc. Edin., 56, 467–484; 1930) that a triploid plant of Œnothera pynocarpa Atk. and Bartl. had a closed ring of twenty-one chromosomes, has, following its questioning by Dr. Darlington (NATURE, May 17, 1930), been the subject of a reinvestigation. A brief statement of the results would seem desirable, since they confirm Darlington's observations and agree with recent work upon triploid Œnotheras, reported by Capinpin in NATURE of Sept. 27, 1930; moreover, it is as well to remove an error, as soon as it is fully comprehended, from the already too complicated field of Œnothera cytology.
