May those who believe that every species was created in, and origi- 
nated from one centre, determine what that centre was in the present 
instance, provided man has not already turned it long ago into fields 
ovvineyards. The new theoiy of transmutation will be a great help to 
them ; we may quite expect to hear that, at great intervals of time, our 
plant has ])y various favourable and unfavourable conditions and circum- 
stances developed or retrograded into other species, perhaps Orcld^ 
ushdata or Tolygomim Bistorta, But I must leave these points to 
our theory-spinners.

ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF CRUCIFERM.

pecially with regard to the particulars described in Mr. W. G. Sndth's 
( 
II. p. 290) ? 
I consider Mr. Smith's observations quite correct, and in connection 
with the two short stamens he has made one very interesting addition 
to our knowledge, i. e. he has repeatedly seen the short stamens occur 
in pairs (p, 270), the additional stamen being in apposition with the 
original one, not intermediate between the two. This has led me to 
take a modified view of the structure of the flower, because, if a shoi-t
