or with few glands only. Capsule commonly 3-4 celled, ovate. 

 (Plates V & VI). ..' .. .. .. Type 5. 



An erect plant differing from Type 4 in the greater rigidity 

 of the main stem and the greater angle at which the secondary 

 monopodia arise, in this case about 45, and in the corolla* which is 

 white. The petals are small, scarcely projecting beyond the brac- 

 teoles. (Plates VII & VIII). . . . . . . Type 6. 



Plant erect with secondary monopodia I branching, when 

 developed, sharply ascending. Leaf factor less than 2 ; flower white. 

 This type differs from the last in two respects. The secondary 

 monopodial branches, if developed, are sharply ascending. Fre- 

 quently, however, they are absent, and even when present reduced 

 in number in plants where the growth of the main axis has not 

 received a check, to one, or at most, two with vigorous growth. 

 The plant is consequently strongly asymmetrical. For the same 

 reason the length of the vegetative period is very brief and the 

 first flowers develop while the plant is still (juite small. Growth 

 continues throughout the season, the plant maintaining a mar- 

 vellous fertility. (Plate IX). . . . . . . Type 7. 



A tall plant, in later stages drooping under the weight of fruit. 

 Leaf factor greater than 3 ; lobes 5-7 with an extra tooth, on 

 one, or both sides of the central lobe frequently developed. 

 Young stem and leaves hairy. Bracteoles entire oi- with few 

 apical teeth. Corolla yellow with deep red "eye." Stigma 

 eglandular or with few glands only. Capsule 3-4 rolled, ovate. 

 (Plate X). . . . . . . . . . . Tyipe 8. 



A plant differing from (8) in the colour of corolla only which 

 is white and scarcely protrudes beyond the bracteoles . . Type 9. 



Types (4)-(9) fall into the G. neglectum and fr. roseiim of 

 Todaro (28), the G. neglectum, Tod. of Gammie (15) and the G. 

 arhoreum vars. neglecta and rosea of Watt (32). 



A tall plant with the main stem weak and early drooping. 

 Leaf factor greater than 3 ; lobes 5-7. Bracteoles entire or with 

 few apical teeth, large and continuing to grow with the developing 

 boll. Corolla pale yellow with deep ' ' eye. ' ' Stigma eglandular. 

 Capsule ovate, very large with numerous seeds. (Plate XI).
