526 Salisbury.— Variations in Anemone nemorosa . 
p. 2, London, 1887). One specimen of Anemone nemorosa which the writer 
transferred to his garden produced for several years flowers in which one or 
more members of the outer whorl of the perianth were green and lobed 
in a manner similar to that of the involucral leaves (Fig. 1). In colour the 
flowers exhibit all gradations from white to purple, but the deep-coloured 
forms appear to be definitely associated with certain localities (var. 
purpurea , D.C., FI. Fr., ed. 3, voh iv, p. 635, 1815). Var. caerulea , D.C. 
(loc. cit.), with pale blue flowers has not been met with. 
Two varieties have been encountered in Hertfordshire which from their 
constant and distinctive characters appear to merit detailed description. 
For the first of these we propose the name of var. robusta (Fig. 2), in virtue 
of its most salient feature, namely the large size of its parts. Up to the 
present this has been encountered in one locality only, namely Stocking’s 
Wood, near Harpenden, where it grows in association with the normal type. 
The characters of this variety are tabulated below, side by side with the 
corresponding ones of the largest specimens obtainable from the same 
locality of the normal type, which we can distinguish as var. genuina .
