importance 
in relation to the question as to the .origin 
of the garden varieties of Cineraria (see pp. 
s and 655 of our last volume). At an 
it has value independently of any À 
In the rst place, we have the po 
In that year he raised 
several having a distinct ring of white round the 
disc (a feature, we may add, much more characteris- 
tic, so far as we have observed, of S. Heritieri than 
of S, cruentus). From these Mr. Kelway selected 
two,and from these two he raised other seed- 
lings much improved in habit and in the shape 
of the bloom, and handed them over to Messrs. 
scendants now occupy several large houses, 
Mr. Kelway's plants then, are, in his opinion, 
pure uncrossed descendants from 8. cruentus. 
But nearly thirty years previously hybrid 
nothing of others, which it is alleged were 
raised in 1824, and in subsequent years, 
It may then be taken as established that there 
were in the early part of the century seedling 
variations from S. cruentus, and also that there 
were crossed variations in e some other 
species than cruentus was concerned. These 
facts suggest an enquiry as to jd cause of the 
seedling variations; and secondly, an enquiry 
whether the Cinerarias as now grown originated 
exolusively from one or from the other category. 
The first subject is too vast and too recondite to 
be entered upon within the limits of a note, 
particularly as there is no direct evidence to be 
adduced. Ав a conjecture, we should think it 
very likely that seedling variations are the 
result of the dissociation of previously-mixed 
charaoters, v berg: having taken place 
perhaps ages s 
That the Садан; as we now know it, may 
have had a hybrid origin witkin comparatively 
recent times, is a hypothesis, which the facts 
now to be recorded show, is not to be summarily 
а as unworthy of credence. 
We have to thank Mr. Lynch, the Curator of 
tk for s specimens of a 
remarkable Cineraria which made its appearance 
in that establishment, Some plants of Senecio 
Heritieri, DC. (— Cineraria lanata, L'Herit.), 
were received,as Mr. Lynch informs us,from Kew,
