Nov. Acta 1785.

Some described in the German Pamphet. All impregnations here (zz) tried succeeded. between D. plumaries-barbatus deltoides. arnesi, superbus, hortensis, ferrug. chinensis, carthusianor, pungens, glaucus. —

11 species & 16 experiments. — Only 3 inverse cases tried, one quite similar, other "haud multum abludentes", & 3^d "satis similes." — Ten crosses it is mentioned produced "intermediate" offspring (LL) excluding the inverse crosses. Thirteen crosses produced plures or plurimae hybrid plants — Three produced — few. — seeds & plants —

with pollen grains as many "effaetae ac vacuae" as good. — capsules many quite empty some with few seeds, attributes these to neighbourhood of parent plants !! —

Hyb. D. deltoides ♀ Britain

D. armer. ♂ Britain?

Hybrid capsule contained few good seeds

D. superbi, into Chinensis, do into hortensis, do into Chinensis, barbata into chinensis, plumieri Siberi into chinensis &c &c This show how many of the species were fertile with one of their parents

see 3^d Fortsetzung p.93 where this opinion of them beng vars. is expressed, from result of experiments.

Only 1 Experiment in Fortsetzung.

Many plants hence produced "in summo gradu faecundae." Hence all varieties he says. —

In Hooker's Brit. Flora. D. glaucus Linn. is considered as variety of D. deltoides — grows in Kings' Park Edinburgh — Even London Catalogue considers them vars.

Even Babington makes a var.
