A writer in tlie Gardeners' Chronicle for 1914 terms M. hetero- 

 phylla the only American species of Meconopsis, tlius repeating 

 a, statement made in tlie same jonrnal on July 14, 1906. The 

 actual state of affairs was esplamc ■" ' '■■ " " ' ' ^ ' 

 October, 1906. The statement repo^..^ .u. x^x-i nxay uu ^u^^^^., 

 but from the evidence available, all that can yet be said is that 

 M . heterophylla is the only American Meconopsis to be met with 

 lu European g'ardens.

In addition to being not merelv monocarpic but annual plants, 

 the members of the Anomalae group differ from those of the 

 other groups m having slightly zygomorphic flowers. For this 

 reason it seems desirable to take them out of the position in the 

 sequence of groups suggested in 1906.
