A FASCIATE ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 



Horticulturists are deeply interested 

 in a unique specimen of the Esch- 

 scholtzia Californica, our state flower, 

 which has been sent to E. J. Wickson, 

 the botanist ,of Berkeley, by G. W. 

 D,winell, of Montague, Cal. The flower 

 is the result of the union of about six 

 stems, which, having grown together, 

 unite to form a blossom, the petals of 

 which are grouped into three distinct 

 flowers. The calyxes also are trans- 

 formed into scalloped extensions. Mr. 

 Wickson has spent much time studying 

 this wonderful new growth and gives as 

 his opinion that the tendency to fascia- 

 tion among many varieties of plants is 

 common, but this is the first instance he 

 has seen of the eschscholtzia on this line, 

 and he is inclined to think that a valua- 

 ble adjunct has been discovered to add 

 to our California flora. 



The following letter by Professor 



Wickson to the discoverer of the plant 



may be of interest: 



The peculiar process represented In the plant 

 Sent nie is known as fasclatlon, which being 

 interpreted means a tendency toward bundling 

 or growing in fasces, whence conies the adjec- 

 tive fasciate, meaning bundled or compacted to- 

 gether, long used as Gray uses it, viz.: "Flat- 

 tened or rendered flat, as some stems through 

 monstrous growth." This phenomenon occurs 

 very widely with different plants. I have seen 

 a branch of a cherry tree flattened to a hand 

 breadth, studded on both sides' witli h«ds. show- 

 ing clearly that the growth consisted of a col- 

 lection of branches laterally uiiiteil. Sometimes 

 one sees a shoot of asparagus uunstrously broad-

ened by the same process, and stems of the 

 common flower known as coxcomb (celosla) fas- 

 elated until It has almost the aspect of a cac- 

 tus pod. 



The specimen which you send Is the first I 

 have seen of this l>ehavlor on the part of the 

 eschscholtzia. The markings show clearly the 

 combination of the different stems, which have 

 contributed to the doubling of the corolla. Not 

 only that, but an examination of the blossom 

 shows that the petals are grouped in three dis- 

 tinct flowers, all of them doubled as described, 

 and there Is also a transformation of the ca- 

 lyxes into scalloped extensions, but the calyx 

 cup is a single oval cavity in which four per- 

 fectly formed seed capsules sit side by side in 

 a line. All these things are what might nat- 

 urally Y>e expected from the condensation of the 

 energy of several stems Into one floral effect. 



It has been conjectured that this tendency of 

 plants is possibly due to exceedingly favorable 

 growing conditions, but fortunately It is not 

 a thing which often happens, nor am I aware 

 that It has ever been artificially produced. If 

 It were a common result of providing plants 

 with exceptionally good growing conditions, such 

 as our florists resort to, we should have our 

 plants forced Into monstrous growths which 

 would transform them almost beyond recognition, 

 and It Is of course fortunate that this does not 

 often happen.
