    Notes: Summary A simple container is described whereby small seedlings may be grown at controlled levels of water stress. The water stress was induced in the soil by an osmoticum which is separated from the soil by a semi-permeable membrane. The mortality ofBetula pendula seedlings was markedly increased at a matric potential of −1.6 bars whereas the mortality ofBuddleia davidii was only affected below −2.8 bars. This difference in tolerance to water stress at the seedling stage might not be reflected in the distribution of the species in the colonisation of chalk and sand pits in England unless there is a dry spring.

    Notes: Abstract Gower's (1977) method for the canonical analysis of asymmetric matrices (CAA) where the same entities index both the rows and the columns is described. This technique displays the indexing entities in a series of orthogonal planes of decreasing importance in such a way as to preserve the pattern of the asymmetry between them. The analysis is applied to a half-diallel experiment and to some leaf-overtopping data, both from a study of the control of relative abundance of perennials in chalk grassland. The results suggest a common source for the asymmetry in the very different interference and overtopping data, namely that of leaf height. It is concluded that relative abundance in the field may be determined, in part, by leaf height through aboveground interference between plants.
