_ In the ‘ Botanical Magazine’ the segments of the outer corona are 
Tepresented as entire, and are coloured green : the d 
an error; and, although the toothing at the apex is sometimes very 
pi, 
fl h 
nguish this variety from typical S. variegata is that the lobes of the 
“outer corona are a little narrowed at the apex and less deeply bifid, 
whereas in the type they are as broad at the apex as at the base, or 
slightly broader from the spreading of the lobes. 
e 
The coronal characters, I fear, are not very constant; so far as 
ine notching at the apex of the outer coronal segments is concerned, 
Sometimes there is mere emargination, sometimes the apex is dis- 
netly bifid, and sometimes more or less trifid, from the presence of 
tooth at the base of the notch, in what I take to be slight trom 
lifferent seasons, but I have made a drawing of one case in which 
flowers from the same cyme were very differently coloured. ‘
