The glands at the base of the petals vary much in size; Mr. Grant 
Allen informs me that sometimes they are so much developed as to suggest 
the origin of tubular petals. Our Oxford plants do not exhibit this exces- 
sive gland development to the same extent as the Surrey specimens. The 
plant with imperfect petals is the more frequent form. The young lower 
leaves are strangely different from the upper ones.

remarkable. The early leaves of this plant are oblong cordate. See Linn.
