However singular it may appear, yet the experiments 

 of the Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, detailed in 

 the 4th vol. of the Horticultural Transactions, at p. 

 19, clearly prove the suspicions of Link^us, that the 

 Primrose, Ox -lip, Cowslip, and Polyanthus, were 

 only varieties of the same species, to be well ground- 

 ed. On this subject, so interesting in a Botanic 

 point of view, Professor Henslow's paper, pub- 

 lished in Loudon's Magazine for September, 1830, 

 throws additional light.

In a communication to Loudon s Magazine, for No- 

 vember, 1830, p. 537, Professor Henslow observes, 

 "that he received last year from the Rev. E. Wil- 

 son some specimens and seeds of Anagallis cccrulea, 

 gathered in Yorkshire ; from these seeds he raised 

 a dozen plants, nine of which had blue flowers, and 

 three red." This experiment proves Anagallis ar- 

 vensis and Anagallis cccrulea, to be merely varieties 

 of the same species.
