Ivybriclge (vi.) Avith bluish-Avhite, lavender, and tlie ordinary blue flowers. 

 The way in which plants of this Speedwell with peculiarly coloured flowers 

 grow with others having them of the ordinary bright blue, would seem to 

 show that soil and situation have nothing to do with the production of 

 the variations. We find similar facts in the case of many other species.
