CXCV111 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



having tried the plant with the result that the frilling gradually 

 disappeared under cultivation, and it passed into a normal Ard 

 Righ, the Committee decided to withhold their recognition of it 

 until this question of constancy had been more widely experi- 

 mented on. 



Mr. Hartland sent a seedling from N. obvallaris. It was 

 considered inferior to its parent, and was also reported as a form 

 often met with amongst wild obvallaris. 



Mr. Engleheart showed some very interesting blossoms and 

 plants in pots, illustrating the results of reciprocal hybridisation, 

 viz. : — 



N. triandrus ? x N. (Corbularia) monophylla $ , and 

 N. (C.) monophylla $ x N. triandrus $ . 



In this case of reciprocal hybrids the resultant flowers were 

 almost identical. He also exhibited 



N. (C.) citrina $ x N. (C.) monophylla ^ . 

 N. (C.) citrina $ x N. triandrus c? . 



In these two crosses it was noticeable that in both the mother 

 (citrina) had given the colour.
