Asphodelus (Liliaceae). A. albus data is now complete. One sample germ. 70D-40(417 in 8th w)-70D(1/7 in 2nd w). A second sample germ. 70D-40(5/9 in 10th w) and 4Ó-70D-40-70D(3/3 in 2-5 d). A third sample germ:70D(1/6 in 2nd w)-40(1/6 in 11th w)-70D(3/6 in 2-4 w) and 40-70D(4/4 in 7-12 w). The basic germination pattern appears to be 70-40 and 70-40- 70 with the latter possibly being 70-40 if more time had been given in the cycle at 40.
