Rh WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY lata; but when pure it never has purplish or purple-dotted capsules. The green-capsuled plants seem to be seedlings with the recessive character in color of capsule. The black seeds are nearly those of V. cucullata, black being dominant over buff—the color of the seeds of V. affinis. . ( In my cul tures of this hybrid the recessive buff re-appears in some of the offspring. See Science 25:940-944. June 14, 1907.) In No. 305 (but not in 306) the short auricles of V. afñnis appear with the green capsules of V. cucullata."—Ezra Brainerd. CUBELIUM Raf. C. concolor (Forst.) Raf. Green Violet.
