Abstract
THE pioneers of biometry published many figures on the variation in flowers of numbers of petals, sepals, stigmatic bands, and so on. As they worked on herbs, they counted small numbers, and though they found differences in the means of different plants, were unable to compare the variances, either between plants or between the same plant at different times. Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn. (Oleaceae) sheds up to 1,492 flowers nightly, and up to 32,790 in a season, normally from September to early January in Calcutta.
