Proceeding. Mr. Crock said that they were aware of those differences which defined sex in the higher or der of animals, but which became less noticeable as they gradually went down the scale, until in the forma វេន presented by Ashes, reptiles and insects they disappeared or became less apparent.

The differences of sexual system

in plants were the stamens in the male plant and the pistil in the female, and it was the pollen stored in the stamens which produced the I seed of generation in the ovary of the female plant. Where both organs were present in one planta hermaphrodite species was produced.

Mr. Crook said that plants had life, intelligence and sensitivendas, and he humorously visualised a time when just due would be given to plants and it would be accorded that they were capable of suffering as much as we did.
