as the time of flowering and the colour shade of the flowers, to be 
discussed in the following, have kept constant. The tabulated plants 
show, for the rest, very different combinations of characters; hairy 
scape, blunt bracts, and hairiness along the calyx ribs (field no. 1); 
smooth scape, blunt bracts, calyx hairy throughout (field no. 2); smooth 
scape, short bracts (e. g. bracts somewhat more elongated than in the 
case of the blunt ones) and hairiness of calyx mostly collected along 
the ribs (field no. 8), etc. In order to demonstrate the variation within

a set of plants collected farther to the south the Hallands Väderö cul- 
ture is tabulated below (table 7). 
The culture from Hallands Väderd differs in some points from 
the Marstrand culture. The length of the scape is longer in the Hal- 
lands Väderö culture, and the length of the bracts is variable. There 
is, moreover, a considerable variation as to the combination of cha- 
racteristics typical of the different individuals in the series. As to 
the changes brought about through cultivation only the length of the 
scape has been influenced; it has become longer as have also the leaves. 
No other changes from 1920 to 1922 have been observed. There are,
