Can ties is that given by Syme (E.B. iii. vol. vii. p. 152), 
who says: ‘ Perhaps the true solution of the difficulty is that sug- 
gested | ty Mr. Borrer, viz. that there are two plants, each of which 
varies with red or blue flowers.’’ In Sir J. D. Hooker's Student’s 
Flora (1870). no reference is made either to Henslow’s proof or 
orrer’s opinion, but, apparently by way of compromise, the corolla- 
lobes of arvensis have become ‘ usually glandular ciliate,” and those 
of c@rulea ‘‘ rarely ciliate” ; the latter a very different thing from 
the ‘‘ scarcely at all glandulose ” of the older works. Sym cit.)

glandular ciliate; and Trimmer (Flora of ne 1866, p. 117)

statement is very doubtful, having regard to the fact that the pim-
