386 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
Anne's. In addition to those in the town, which are in great 
profusion, numerous smaller colonies are scattered along the 
adjacent sand dunes. Тһе great majority of the plants is the 
same as at Bidston Junction except in the crinkling of the leaves, 
having foliage closely resembling that of de Vries's (Т. Lamarck- 
tana, midribs red both above and below, the red absent in 
some individuals. 'The flower measurements were, length of 
petals 50 mm., hypanthium 45 mm., ovary 10 mm. Several 
aberrant individuals were also observed. One dwarf mutant 
was found growing in the shade of a large plant. It resembled 
(Е. mut. nanella but had red midribs. One large rosette, having 
leaves very obtuse and pale pink midribs, probably belonged to 
(Е. mut. brevistylis. А number of plants represented a shorter 
spindling type with very narrow rosette-leaves (18 mm. wide 
X 14 em. long). Another plant belonged to a new type, large 
and branching with thicker, narrower leaves (33 mm. x 13 em.), 
stiffer and narrowly pointed, midribs white, and later in beginning 
to flower (buds only half developed, July 16). 
In addition to these probable mutants, there were found in 
one field à few plants of a small-flowered (E. biennis race grow- 
ing with the @. Lamarckiana. They differed from the latter 
only in the small flowers (petals 22 mm., style short), and hence 
were unlike the @. biennis race previously described. Near by 
were also found plants, evidently hybrids of these two races, 
with petals about 30 mm. in length. 
CULTURES 
Some of my cultures of cenotheras from near Birkenhead have 
already been described in a general way (Gates, 713). Here I 
wish to describe a few of these forms in detail, and also to refer 
to my experiments with plants from St. Anne’s. I have not 
seen the colony from which the Birkenhead seeds were obtained, 
but it evidently contains a great profusion of forms belonging 
to both Œ. Lamarckiana and Œ. grandiflora, while all the 
colonies I have observed have a much more uniform population. 
(GE. MULTIFLORA 
One of the distinct races in these cultures I have already 
(Gates, '10) referred to as Œ. multiflora. It is descended
