226 REGULAR PELORIA. 
thus, for instance, consists of species of Hpimediwm in 
which the customary spurs are not formed.’ 
The occurrence both of regular and irregular peloria 
on the same plant has frequently been observed in 
linaria. It hasalso been remarked that the seedlings 
raised from these forms are not always constant ; thus, 
the late Mr. Crocker, formerly foreman in the Royal 
Gardens, Kew, informed me that he fertilised some 
flowers of a drooping Gloxinia with their own pollen, 
and that when the seedlings blossomed a large number 
of them produced the erect regular flowers. 
From what has been already said it will be seen that 
regular peloria is closely allied to what Morren 
called epanody, or a return to the normal condition. 
The reversion of a monstrous form to the normal one, 
as, for instance, when the fern-leaved beech reverts 
to the normal type, was called by the same author 
epistrophy.” 
The following are the genera in which regular peloria 
has been most often observed. It must, however, be 
remarked that in some of the flowers recorded as 
peloric there is no indication as to which form of 
peloria the case should be referred to. For other 
illustrations refer to chapters on Heterogamy, Number,
