Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mutations, Variations, and Relationships of the Oenotheras
In view of the numerous observations described above upon material from the most widely separated sources, which show mutability, suggestions that the mutability of Lamarck's evening-primrose has been consequent upon its segregation in the Amsterdam Botanical Garden may no longer be taken seriously, although no doubt the well-worn phrase will be duly rehearsed from time to time by careless critics. O. Lamarc'kiana may be of hybrid origin, and what species may not be; but if so this origin is not recent, nor can sufficient time be found to hunt down all of the unprofitable alternatives that are offered for consideration.
