*I am much obliged to Mr Moore & to Prof. Thiselton Dyer for giving me information with respect to the varieties on which I experimented. Mr Moore believes that Senecio ementuscruentas, tussilaginis, & perhaps heritieri, maderensis, & populifolius have all been more or less blended together in our Cinerarias.
