Willmottite, pseudo- evidence that both cultivated and wild plantsare perpetually providing in support of the ac-cepted definition of a species, namely, it com-prises all the individual plants which resembleeach other sufficiently to make us conclude thatthey are all, or may have been all, descendedfrom a common parent. These individuals mayoften differ from each other in many strikingparticulars, such as the colour of the flower,size of the leaf, etc., but these particulars aresuch as experience teaches us are liable to varyin the seedlings raised from one W. GLORIOSA ROTHSCHILDIANA CITRINA. A very beautiful form of this handsomeLiliaceous plant has flowered in Mrs. MylesKennedys collection at Stone Cross, size it is equal to the best form of G. Roths-childiana, and the arrangement of the segmentsof the flowers is different in their various stages,the younger blooms having them reflexed andforming an oval outline, gradually inclining as ANDROSACE Photograph by W. Irving, Fig. 36.—androsace iyrenaica : flowers white. tigrinum and Thayerae. Mr. Grove, followingother authorities and the Index Kewcnsis, makespseudotigrinum synonymous with L. Maximo-wiczii, but this is, I believe, a mistake, thelast-named, as described by Regel and repre-sented by dried specimens at Kew, being a formof L. Leichtlinii, figured in the BotanicalMagazine,, t. 5,673. This is very similar to , but it has wider leaves, shorterpedicels, and the flowers are straw-yellow withbrown spots, those of L. sutchuenense beingorange-red and dotted rather than spotted withdark brown. In Messrs. Veitchs nursery atCoombe Wood there was considerable variationin stature, degree of branching and size offlowers in the plants of L. sutchuenense raisedfrom Mr. Wilsons bulbs. There is a tendencynowadays to overlook the fact that variation iscommon to all species—very
