Alchemilla (Rosaceae). In retrospect it is likely that OS may be the best treatment for the five species studied atthough, unfortunately, OS was not trled initiallly on any of the five. In the 2nd Ed. A. faeronensis germ. 85% in March in OT from seeds placed outdoors the previous October. None germ. in 70D-40, 70L-40, 70 GA-3, or 40-70D. When seeds from 70L-40-70L and 70D-40 were shifted to OS, respective germinations were 85% in the 3rd w and 20% on 8th d. Curiously shifting seeds to OS after 70D-40-70D treatment did not give any germination. Seeds DS 1 y were dead. .
