was derived from the contents of two capsules containing 

 about 300 seeds. From these 247 seedlings appeared in 

 the pans within six weeks ; 198 young rosettes were potted 

 and finally 180 large rosettes were set out. Tims, in re- 

 ducing the culture, 67 smaller rosettes which gave less 

 promise of developing into vigorous plants were dis- 

 carded. 



The similarity of the young rosettes of the hybrid to 

 those of Lamarchiana is shown in Fig. 4. The mature 



rosettes (Fig. 5) presented characters that were clearly 

 blends in various degrees between the parent tvpes, 

 blends very hard to define because of a range of varia- 

 tion in the leaves. The leaves were conspicuously 

 crinkled as in Lamarchiana, differing from the latter 

 types of my cultures chiefly in being more deeply toothed 

 and cut at their bases and in being colored a slightly
