leaved inland-maximum called forth by the extreme habitat condi- 
tions of the sea cliff. A few of the cliff individuals were excavated 
and brought home in order that the reversion to the inland form might 
be followed more closely. This reversion has not yet taken place, 
however. The plants have, on the contrary, developed their original 
peculiarities still more with increasing age and growth. Fig. 34 (to the 
right) shows one of the plants, once.a stunted, single stemmed dwarf,

now one of the largest in culture. The leaves are permanently dark 
red in colour and much folded, as is plainly seen from the photograph. 
A second series from this locality composed of 26 individuals was 
brought home in 1920. The slight variation within this series, as seen 
in 1922, may be briefly noted: the number of flat-leaved individuals is 
two, the rest have folded leaves; the pure green-leaved individuals 
number 6, the rest have dark red leaves. The series further includes 
plants with ascending and with erect stems (fig. 34, to the left) in 
about equal number.
