Bezeichnet n die Anzahl der characteristischen Unterschiede an den beiden Stammpflanzen, so gibt 3n die Gliederzahl der Combinationsreihe, 4n die Anzahl der Individuen, welche in die Reihe gehören, und 2n die Zahl der Verbindungen, welche constant bleiben.
If n designates the quantity of characteristic differences in the two parental plants, then 3n indicates the number of members in the combination series, 4n the quantity of individuals that belong to the series, and 2n the number of conjunctions that remain constant.
The formulas proposed in this sentence are (more or less) evident from the listing of “expressions” to be combined on p. 21, s. 2 and p. 22, s. 4; each of them has 3 “members”, 4 “individuals” (Aa etc. occuring twice), and two “constant” members (A and a etc.), and these need to be multiplied with the same numbers in the following lines to calculate the possible combinations.
quantity = Anzahl See p. 3, s. 8.
number of members = Gliederzahl See p. 20, s. 12.
combination series = Combinationsreihe See p. 21, s. 1.
conjunctions = Verbindungen See p. 10, s. 14.
constant = constant See p. 5, s. 5.
