the type. The leaves are not so rhomboidal in yours, nor is the 
corymbous character ‘ typical.’ The peduncles are larger than usual, 
and the heads not nearly so much condensed. Still I think it is an 
‘ erratic form 5 of that species. * * * It [ s difficult to say, 
without very close observation, what change may be effected (in this 
changeable genus !) by locality and soil. Some broad-leaved forms of 
H. crocatum run so near to H corymbosum at first sight that it is 
difficult to speak positively about a single specimen. From the long 
and scattered peduncles, and somewhat differing leaves in your plant, 
I can quite imagine that it may be a very luxuriant ‘ broad-leaved 
form 5 of H. crocatum ; and yet I think that ‘ till further evidence ’ 
presents itself, it may be most prudently called 1 corymbosum.'* Yet I 
fully agree with Prof. Babin gton’s feeling of uncertainty.” J. 
Backhouse in litt. ad. Charles Bailey.
