NOTE ON ERANTHEMUM ELATUM. 
By S. Kunz. 
es a letter to the late lamented Dr. Seemann (cf. Journ. Bot. 
ty a. ) I have remarked on dimorphism in Zranthemum elatum, 
cinnabarinum im a of cultivated Acanthacee, published by Dr. 
Anderson in the J neta! of the Agri-horticultural Society of Reali for 
the use of horticulturists. This omission was pointed out by Mr. 
John Scott in this Journal (1872, p. 161). Mr. Scott e exprossve his 
162.) In my letter I stated that ‘‘ I saw only fruits,” and a few lines 
further on, ‘‘ Again I saw nothing but fruits.” Hekeren th in spite of 
these remarks, Mr. Scott thought it desirable to introduce a supposi- 
tion to which I shall refer in the sequel. 
Thus so far from my remarks on the generic question—in arenes 
of flowers then—standing in any connection with dimorphism, it w 
nderson’s arguments, I put it in the genus Anes without, 
; however, describing a: It so happens that what deterred Dr. 
because I hecie: indicated its oo near affinity with £. crenulatum. 
However, some good often accrues from a Stieinaeetion and Mr. 
Scott—although unknowingly—has given me the key to physiological
