Abstract
IN recent years, attention has been drawn to the usefulness of biochemical data in studies of angiosperm taxonomy1–2. Some of these data refer to proteins, and two methods of investigation which have produced interesting results are the serological analysis of plant proteins3 and the separation of proteins on acrylamide gels4.
