Chromatograms of all collections in Group I contain a large, iridescent blue spot 

 9 (Rf = .54/. 78) which is the most prominent in the entire chromatogram and most char- 

 acteristic of this major group. In addition, displayed in all specimens of Group I 

 were spots 25 and either 16 or 22 (.83/. 67, .32/. 90, and .32/. 84, respectively). On the 

 other hand, spot 9 of Group II is usually smaller and always less brilliant than in 

 Group I. Furthermore, spot 16 was always absent from the chromatograms of Group II and 

 22 was found only occasionally. However, spots 5, 6, and 26 (.47/. 11, .28/. 13, and 

 .38/. 73, respectively) were always present in Group II as shown in figures 5 and 6. 



Group i".--This major group was subdivided into its four distinct subgroups of la, 

 lb, Ic, and Id (figs. 1-4), on the basis of the following characteristics. In addition 

 to the brilliancy of spot 9, and the presence of spots 16, 22, and 25 mentioned pre- 

 viously, chromatograms of la contain spots 5, 6, 10, 12, and 14 (fig. 1). Spots 5 and 

 6 of this group are relatively small and dull and yellowish-brown in color. 



Subgroup lb differs from la only in the size and color of spots 5 and 6, which in 

 lb are large and bright yellow (fig. 2). 



Chromatograms of Ic lack spots 5, 6, and 12 but always contain the prominent pink 

 spot, 33. Spot 9, however, is larger and more brilliant in Ic than in any of the other 

 3 subgroups of group I (fig. 3). 



Subgroup Ic appears to be made up of collections of subspecies A. tridentata 

 Vaseyana or closely related intermediates within group I. Since this subspecies 

 is such a polymorphic complex, it is possible that la and lb, as well as Ic, may be 

 considered within it. 



Group Id lacks spots 10, 12, 14, and 16. Here, spot 9 is intermediate in size but 

 remains highly iridescent. In Id, spots 5 and 6 are large and bright yellow as in lb. 

 In addition, a bright blue-green spot, 36, is prominent in subgroup Id (fig. 4). 



Group JX.--This major group was divided into the two subgroups Ila and lib (figs. 

 5 and 6), both of which lack spots 16 and 36 but contain spots 5, 6, and 26.
