Baillon, 'Adansonia,' v, p. 177, 'Sur la regularite transitoire

of some flowers which begin and end by being irregular, there
is an intermediate state when all the parts are regular. Helye,
'Revue Horticole,' Sept., 1868, p. 327. In this last paper,
published as this sheet is going through the press, the author
states that he has raised from seed three generations of plants
of _Antirrhinum_ with regular spur-less flowers. The original
wild plant was only partially peloric, but all the flowers
produced on its descendants were regular.
