Deinanthe (Hydrangaceae). D. bifida required light and germ. 70L(25% in 13-15 d) and 70D(none). The sample in 70D was shifted to 70L after 4 w whereupon it germ. at the same rate and percentage as seed sown initally in 70L showing that there was no deterioration or any other change in 4 w in 70D. A preliminary 3 m at 40 also had no effect on the germination at 70. -
