Gates, 1911b, pi. vi, for the colour variations of rubrinervis 
buds). Four other plants differed from these only in having* 
the more typical rubrinervis colour pattern (5). Of the 
remaining plants, three bore buds somewhat smooth and 
rounded, resembling those of CE. grandi flora; one (IV, 17) 
was a semilata whose leaves had pinkish midribs; one (lA", 
20) was lata with pinkish midribs, and one was a very aber- 
rant, bushy type, having small, elliptical, finely serrate leaves 
with short petioles and rounded buds with no long hairs. 
The rough brown stem and small leaves gave this peculiar 
plant an almost ericaceous aspect. It was completely sterile 
in both anthers and ovaries. 
Of this culture, then, 117 plants resembled rubrinervis 
closely in folinge ; one belonged to semilata, one to lata, 
and one to a very aberrant and sterile type. Unfortunately, 
no cytological material was collected from the latter plant. 
Culture No. 226 was derived from seeds received from the 
Kolosvar Botanic Garden under the name CE. biennis 
L. gran diflora Hort. It contained 116 plants, which 
were mostly Lamarckiana and rubrinervis, with rather 
variable foliage, but included also two nanellas, one 
(II . 18) lata to semilata, having a little pollen and pink 
midribs, one (III. 1) typical lata. 
Culture No. 229 came from open-pollinated seeds of 
Heribert-Nilsson^s lata-like ^^Komb. 1.^^ It contained 79 
plants, most of which belonged to a type whose buds 
resembled those of grandif lor.a, the leaves being nearly 
smooth, cordate. But there were also one nan el la, one 
semilata (I . 6), two lata to semilata (I . 12 and II . 17), 
five lata (I . 4, 1 . 11, I . 17, I . 24 and II . 13), and one new 
type (I. 10) like a small, weak lata, having broad-pointed, 
crinkled leaves nearly cordate at base, and rather small 
flowers. Hence the foliage and habit of the latter plant 
alone resembled lata, and, as might have been anticipated, 
the plant, like the eight lata and semilata plants above 
mentioned, had 15 chromosomes. 
Cult. No. 179 contained only two plants, both typical
