Through Monarch (Pr. Alex. xDuch. Edin.). 



Monarch (yellow- orange) x B. malayanum (cerise-crimson) 

 = Little Beauty, Nos. 29 and 318 (scarlet-crimson) (fig. 44, n). 



Male. — Cor., colour same ; form same, but slightly larger 

 in size ; leaf, imparted russet scales. 



Female. — Leaf, size. N.B. Both parents have a tapering 

 base, but it is more truncate in the offspring, traceable to B.jas- 

 miniflorum. It has the russet scales of the male parent. In No. 

 318 the base is very tapering. 



Through Princess Beatrice (Pr. Alex. xDuch. Edin.). 



Pr. Beatrice (cream, pink throat) x B. multicolor (lemon) = 

 No. 50, 486. 



Male. — Cor., colour, pale primrose tube ; form nearly same, 

 but enlarged. 



Female. — Cor., colour, pink tinge in border and crimson 

 anthers. 



True Species Crossed by a Third Generation. 



Through B. multicolor. 



i. B. multicolor (lemon) x Aurora (yellow-orange) =Nos. 

 388, 441, 460. 



N.B. These being reciprocal crosses with Aurora x B. multi- 

 color (p. 274), the offspring are identical, only varying in tints ; 

 No. 441 closely agrees with No. 451 ; No. 388 with No. 387. In 

 No. 460, the red and yellow tend to be more dissociated, the 

 former on the edge, the latter in the throat. 



ii. B. multicolor (lemon) x Princess Beatrice (cream, pink 

 throat) = Nos. 335 (dark rose), 386 (light orange to white). 



Male. — Cor., colour, presence of pink ; form, large border, 

 truncate tube. Leaf, larger size. 



Female. — Cor., colour pale yellow to white, by mutual 

 elimination ; form approximates, but is larger ; anthers yellow. 



N.B. — This cross contains five different species, B. jasmini- 

 ftorum (no trace), B. Lobbii (no trace), B. Brookeanum (no 

 trace), B. javanicum (orange tint and large border, and truncated 

 .tube), B. multicolor (relatively small size). Leaf, form of B. 

 javanicum, but reduced size.
