Vochting, ascited in Willis Manual and Dictionary of FloweringPlants and Ferns, says that these eleistogauiicflowers are specially formed in the shade. We donot know with what degree of frequency they areformed in the newer varieties. We may expect fromthis history that the variations which occur in theseflowers will be variations in size and habit chiefly,and not of so remarkable a character as in the casewhere hybridisation intervenes. The illustrationfrom specimens provided by Mr. Harry Turner,of Slough, and Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley,show the typical V. odorata and some of the newervarieties (fig. 81). Fig. 80 represents a form of V. odorata, knownas sulfurea, and which was exhibited by Messrs.
