EXPLANATIONS OF PLATES I TO VIII. 



Plate I. — CEnolhera Lamarkiana, Ser. in DC. In a tennis 

 ground within St. George's Gardens, St. Anne's-on-the-Sea, 

 17th September, 1906. This ground is kept mown during 

 the summer; after the last mowing the plants are left 

 undisturbed for the autumn, winter and spring, with the 

 result that fresh shoots are put forth which both flower 

 and fruit. The plants represented in the plate were two 

 to three feet in height, and bore large flowers three inches 

 in diameter. In May, 1907, to prepare the ground for 

 the summer, the gardeners had uprooted all the evening 

 primroses which were visible, amounting to several barrow- 

 loads. 



Plate II. — CEnothera Lamarkiana, Ser. in DC. View looking 

 across the sandhills westward from the eastern end of 

 Beach Road, St. Anne's-on-the-Sea. The large grass in 

 the foreground is Elymns arenarius, Linn., a frequent 

 sandhills plant of St. Anne's. Photographed August, 

 1906. 



Plate III. — CEnothera Lamarkiana, Ser. in DC. View taken 

 from the same standpoint as in Plate II, but looking 

 south-west. The house on the horizon is on the North 

 Drive, at the corner of Beach Road. Photographed 

 August, 1906. 



Plate IV. — CEnothera Lamarkiana, Ser. in DC. View just 

 within the fence of St. George's Gardens, St. Anne's-on- 

 the-Sea, at the corner of Beach Road, August, 1906. 

 Plates I to IV were photographed between six and seven 

 o'clock, a.m. ; by noon most of the flowers have either 

 closed or fallen.
