Moisture filled her cloudy brown eyes and she blinked it back behind her gold-rimmed glasses, then tugged at the edges of her short-styled, black-and-gray wig to straighten it. ❋ L. A. Banks (2011)
When an insect visits a flower with short stamens, that part is covered with pollen which in the short-styled (but long-stamened) flower will strike the stigma, as the pistil in one flower is almost exactly of the length of the stamens in the other form. ❋ Douglas Houghton Campbell (N/A)
It is possible to raise from dimorphic species, both long-styled and short-styled illegitimate plants, and from trimorphic plants all three illegitimate forms. ❋ Unknown (1909)
Leaving the short-styled primrose, we come now to the last of our group of retrograde varieties. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
_O. brevistylis_, or the short-styled evening primrose, is the most curious of all my new forms. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
An insect thrusting its proboscis down a primrose of the long-styled form (Fig. 12) would dust its proboscis at a part (_a_) which, when it visited a short-styled flower (Fig. 13), would come just opposite the head of the pistil ❋ John Lubbock (1873)
Hence we see that by this beautiful arrangement insects must carry the pollen of the long-styled form to the short-styled, and _vice versâ_. ❋ John Lubbock (1873)
Conversely, an insect visiting a short-styled plant would dust its proboscis at a part farther from the tip; which, when the insect subsequently visited a long-styled flower, would again come just opposite to the head of the pistil. ❋ John Lubbock (1873)
But an insect visiting, first, a long-styled plant, would deposit the pollen on the stigma of another plant of the same kind if it were next visited; and this is probably the reason why the wild short-styled plants were found to be almost always most productive of seed, since they must be all fertilised by the other form, whereas the long-styled plants might often be fertilised by their own form. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
It will be seen, by the figures, that the arrangement is such that a bee visiting the flowers will carry the pollen from the long anthers of the short-styled form to the stigma of the long-styled form, while it would never reach the stigma of another plant of the short-styled form. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
These two forms have long been known to florists as the "pin-eyed" and the "thrum-eyed," but they are called by Darwin the long-styled and short-styled forms (see woodcut). ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
Darwin discovered, first, that cowslips and primroses are absolutely barren if insects are prevented from visiting them, and then, what is still more extraordinary, that each form is almost sterile when fertilised by its own pollen, and comparatively infertile when crossed with any other plant of its own form, but is perfectly fertile when the pollen of a long-styled is carried to the stigma of a short-styled plant, or _vice versâ_. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
Chinese Primula; homomorphic seedlings from short-styled parent have presented both forms, which disgusts me. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
Treviranus speaks of P. longiflora as short-styled, but this is evidently a slip of the pen, for further on, I see, he says the stigma always projects beyond anthers. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
Secondly, the utter dissimilarity of action of the pollen of long - and short-styled form of one species in crossing with a distinct species. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
The short-styled the same, i.e. produced short-styled for two generations with the exception of a single plant. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
But remember that I am not quite certain that I well castrated the short-styled primrose; I believe any castration would be superfluous, as I find all [these] plants sterile when insects are excluded. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
The short-styled type has long and medium length stamens, the medium type has long and short stamens, and the long-styled has medium to short stamens. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The man is described as Asian, of medium build, in his early 20s, with short-styled hair, brown eyes, dark jeans and wearing an orange or peach T-shirt. ❋ Unknown (2010)
