Description

Sectional committee: Botany

Recommended for publication in Proceedings, althought the referee feels the paper should be referred to someone else, namely George Udny Yule. This is due to the fact that they aren't suitably 'versed in statistical methods'.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 1926].
