RENDLE, A. B., Inula grandiflora Willd. (Journal of Botany. 

 Vol. XLII. No. 493. 1904. p. 10—12.) 



It is suggested that Inula grandiflora Willd. and /. glandulosa 

 Willd. are both varieties or perhaps merely forms oi the same plant and 

 that the name /. orientalis Lam. takes precedence over /. grandiflora 

 Willd. and must thereiore represent both the first-named species. 

 I. grandiflora oi the Flora of British India (VII. p. 294) is not 

 /. grandiflora Wil!d v but represents /. barbata Wall.

 Systems of which do not show adaptibility to variable soil

 in the red maple the tap-root soon disappears when the seed-
