412 Cutting. — Observations on Variations in the 
mentioned above and also in the forms with two stamens. The fused forms 
are interesting in that they were found in opposite side inflorescences, 
a distribution that is very common, as was shown by observations made 
in 1919, and one that probably points to similar external factors acting at 
the same time in the growth of the side inflorescence, bringing about a similar 
condition. (Fig. 2, a , shows an abnormality similar to that described by 
Muth in Salvia pratensis ( 28 ).) Variants were seen both at Haslemere in 
1917 and near High Wycombe in the autumn of 1918, but no records were 
kept of them.

In the middle of July, 1919, at Shoreham (Kent) (see Table III), six 
peloric and semi-peloric forms were found ; four of these are known to 
be middle flowers of the lowest stalked side inflorescence and the others 
are thought to have been middle flowers of side verticillasters. The 
symmetry was usually destroyed either numerically or, as in two cases, by 
the presence of an upright upper lip (Fig. 3, a). In one of these cases 
a small flower was found posterior to the semi-peloric form (Fig. 3, a ), and 
in the autumn of the same year, near High Wycombe, a similar tendency 
to form a trichasium was indicated in the case of the two semi-peloric forms 
then found, and also in a form with a completely divided upper lip placed 
in a line with the lower lip. There were three ‘ fused * flowers (Fig. 3, k\ k'\ j 
and /£'"), which should be regarded as fusions between a middle and a side 
flower of a half-verticillaster (as indicated either by a difference in size of 
flowers or by one being open and the other closed), no undoubted case of 
fasciation being found. Fused flowers, similar to those here described, are 
sometimes met with normally, e. g. in certain species of the genera Lonicera ( 2 ) 
and Eucalyptus ( 49 ). In one of the reductions only the side petals of the 
lower lip were present (Fig. 3, e) ; and in another only one lobe, like a side
