It would be worth while to see whether the climate of California, where neither O. lamarckiana nor O. biennis are found wild, would not exactly suit the requirements of the new species rubrinervis and gigas. A fixed hybrid between O. cruciata and O. biennis constituting a species has been in cultivation for many years.
B.L. Robinson of Cambridge, Mass., had the kindness to send me seeds from another locality in the same region. The seeds were collected in New Hampshire and in my garden produced a true and constant cruciata, but with quite different secondary characters from both the aforesaid varieties.
