Excerpt from Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture in India, Vol. 1: Studies in the Pollination of Indian Crops Flowering. The large conspicuous yellow owers are borne on long ter minal racemes, the first blossoms appearing when the plants have attained their full height (plate I). The lowest ower of each in orescence opens first and owering proceeds regularly towards the growing point and is completed in the whole plant in about a month. The carina is very pointed, slightly twisted at the apex and closely. Shut. The stamens are diadelphous and unequal. The anthers of the shorter stamens are linear, of the longer ovate. Those buds which show slits in their calyces in the late afternoon with the yellow corolla showing through, open the following morning about 9 to 10 a.m. At which period the glands begin to secrete nectar freely. As a rule the owers remain fully Open for two days, partially closing at nightfall. Comparatively few of the owers set seed under Pusa conditions.
