perceived. It is the same in the other, but its (again) Kalischia-like 
' humped ' growth makes its tap-root not so easily perceived. The 
flowers are pale yellow. 
" 5. Cotyledon seedling, picked out of a pan. I do not know what 
it crossed itself with, but its flowers are most distinct, being not 
' spotted ' but ' blotched ' with vivid crimson-lake, so much so as 
sometimes practically to cover the whole petal ; at other times the 
white margin is more or less in evidence. 
" Viola X knaptonensis is a hybrid between V. bosniaca and V. 
tricolor, having the colour of the former (but richer) and the ' velvet ' 
of the latter. Its flowers usually have lemon-yellow blotches on the 
lower petals, but sometimes, especially in full sun, the flowers are 
altogether crimson-rose." 
Malformed Delphinium.- — Mr. H. S. L. Wilson, of Crofton Hall, 
Wakefield, sent some curious flowers of Delphinium from his garden, 
having large foliose sepals. The flower at the upper part of the stem 
was normal, and only one stem on the plant bore malformed flowers. 
Scientific Committee, June 20, 1916. 
Mr. E. A. Bowles, M.A., F.L.S., F.E.S., in the Chair, and fourteen 
members present. 
White-flowered Securidaca Lamarckii. — Mr. W. Fawcett, F.L.S., 
exhibited a specimen of a white-flowered form of the Polygonaceous 
Securidaca Lamarckii found growing in St. Vincent, W. Indies — the 
first recorded occurrence of the albino form of this species. 
Tulip with elongated axis. — Mr. R. Hooper Pearson showed a bulb 
of a garden Tulip from which a stem about 3 inches in length had 
developed bearing a bulb at its apex. 
Fusarium on Potato. — Dr. A. S. Home showed old Potato tubers 
which had been attacked by winter rot, now bearing deep red pustules 
similar to those attributed to Nectria Solani. No Nectria spores had, 
however, been produced. 
Various Plants.- — Mr. H. J. Elwes, F.R.S., showed a series of plants 
from his garden, including Myosotis micrantha, a purplish-flowered 
species from New Zealand with a curious but not unpleasing scent ; 
Arisaema concinnum, from Sikkim, which has proved quite hardy at 
Colesborne when planted deep in shady places ; A . utile from the 
upper valleys of Sikkim, where the tubers are eaten in times of famine — 
a plant with curious transparent stripes on the spathe ; a variety 
of Paeonia officinalis from Asia Minor, single, flowering late, and 
received by Mr. Elwes from Messrs. Barr under the name " Smyrna," 
but for which he proposes the name Whittallii ; a form of Tropaeolum 
polyphyllum similar in habit to that known as T. Leichtlinii, raised 
from seed collected by him at an elevation of 9,000 feet near the 
mouth of the Transandean Tunnel at Puente del Inca ; Iris Clarkei,
