Corydalis tuberosa in Exper. Garden. April 3d /63/

I found 1/2 dozen flowers with both nectaries developed, & both with nectar, & the rudimentary one, instead of being white, is purple - Pistil straight instead of curved & hood of [illeg] petals could equally slip off both ways; complete reversion & return to state of Dielytra adlumia &c &c. Case of Regular Reversion - Single flowers in no particular part of truss.
