The Origin of Linaria Vulgaris Peloria. 205 N^us described this form, which was new then, underthe name of Peloria, derived from the Greek TrikMp, amonster. It was not till later that the occasional occurrence ofisolated peloric flowers on the ordinary Linaria vulgariswas noticed. Moreover in thecourse of time further speci-mens of the true Peloria werefound scattered over most ofEurope. Such plants have beenbrought into cultivation bymany investigators. Theyhave remained constant andcould be propagated by meansof their numerous radicalbuds. In th
