colouring of the flowers and in the width of the leaves. That is, a 
concolorous form is frequent, and also an extreme discolor form, 
where in contradistinction to the almost white flower, is the large and 
richly orange coloured palate. The shape and direction of the spur 
is now found to be excessively variable, as is also the width of the 
leaves. In these cases no stri^ are visible on the flowers, so that we 
cannot say they are hybrids, but it may be that the pollen of L. repens 
has exerted some influence upon the mother plant, but that the 
L. vulgaris element has been prepotent. One of the hybrids, 
distinguished on the label as L. Baxterii, named after the author of 
‘ Pheenogamous Botany,’ is nearer L. vulgaris, but the striae are 
distinctly visible on the flowers. It occurred with the others at
