Hence both Monarch and Hippolyta show the preponderating 

 influence of the last species introduced in multifold crossings. 



Z, Duchess of Edinburgh. This hybrid is the offspring o£ 

 B. Lobbii (crimson), (fig. 43, b) and B. Brookeanum (straw- 

 coloured), (fig. 43, a). Comparing the figures, it will be seen 

 how the latter form has greatly overpowered that of B. Lobbii, 

 the slight curvature of the tube alone being indicative of the male 

 parentage. The bright scarlet-crimson is due to the infusion of 

 yellow by the the female parent into the bright crimson of that 

 of the male (B. Lobbii). 



m, Lord Wolseley. Genealogy. — B. jas. x B. jav . =■ Pr . Royal ; 

 Pr. Royal x B. Brook. = Duchess of Teck ; Duch. Teck x B. jav. 

 =Lord Wolseley. 



This cross therefore contains three species, and one of them 

 twice. 



The female parent, Duchess of Teck, has much the same form 

 as Princess Royal, but is a little smaller. The effect of the large- 

 flowered B. jav. (tig. 43, e), last introduced, is to greatly enlarge 

 the flower. 



The colour of Duchess of Teck is almost a primrose with a 

 faint pink tinge, the anthers being orange. In Lord Wolseley 

 the corolla is a bright orange, and the anthers crimson.

This cross therefore contains five species, and one of them 

 (B. jas.) twice, (fig. 43, a, b, c, e, and g). The last intro- 

 duced (B. mal.), though the smallest-flowered species, has prac- 

 tically overpowered the other four, this and allied crosses being 

 slightly " improved " forms of B. malayanum.
