The curve is smooth and most like that of E. pulcherrima var. oak. The isoelectric points of the two curves, however, are widely divergent. The latex particles of E. geniculata do not move in an electric field at pH , while those from E. pulcherrima var. oak are isoelectric at pH The curve for E, heierophylla is no more closely related by its shape to E. geniculata than to the members of the E. dentata-E. pulcherrima group. Since the position of the point at pH on the E. heierophylla curve caused most of the difference in shape between it and the curve for E. geniculata, this point was checked again and found to have the same position (within experimental error) as reported previously (10). The of particles of E. heierophylla latex was redetermined with plants grown from different seed and was again found at pH This is not very close to that of E. geniculata. Since neither the systematic position nor the geographical distribution of these species offers a clear explanation for this divergence, it was thought that an investigation of chromosome numbers might be of value. Carano (4) reported that Poinsettia pulcherrima R. Grah. ( = £. pulcherrima Willd.) has 10 chromosomes in the haploid cells ^'con sufficiente ; The chromosomes of the other species and varieties in this section apparently have never been counted. Root tips were fixed in Nawaschin's fluid as modified by Sax (14) and dehydrated and imbedded in paraffin by means of Zirkle's n-butyl alcohol technique (17). Transverse sections were cut lo/x thick, stained in crystal violet, and destained by Newton's lodme method (11).
