adami

_Pomum adami_ of Marco Polo; (2) the _Zizyphus nummularia_, often confounded with the camel-thorn, a valuable bush used for hedges, bearing a small edible fruit.

Several theories have been propounded to account for the origin of _C. adami_, and for the transformations which it undergoes.

On the other hand, we have a clear and distinct account given by M. Adam, who raised the plant, to Poiteau, [907] showing that _C. adami_ is not an ordinary hybrid.

Thus Mr. Purser states [904] that a common laburnum-tree in his garden, into which three _grafts_ of the _Cytisus purpureus_ had been inserted, gradually assumed the character of _C. adami_; but more evidence and copious details would be requisite to make so extraordinary a statement credible.

We shall presently see that, with hybrid plants, two different embryos may be developed within the same seed and cohere; and it has been supposed that _C. adami_ might have thus originated.

To sum up the foregoing facts: the statement that _Cytisus adami_ originated as a graft-hybrid is so precise that it can hardly be rejected, and, as we have just seen, some analogous facts render the statement to a certain extent probable.

In the _Cytisus adami_ and the Bizzarria orange, whatever their origin may have been, the two parent species occur blended together under the form of a sterile hybrid, or reappear with their characters perfect and their reproductive organs effective; and these trees, retaining the same sportive character, can be propagated by buds.

Had the two united stems grown up to their full height, instead of dying, a curiously mixed hybrid would have been produced; but even if some of the buds had subsequently reverted to both parent-forms, the case, although more complex, would not have been strictly analogous with that of _C. adami_.

Prof. Caspary has examined the ovules of the dingy-red and sterile flowers in several plants of _C. adami_ on the Continent, [901] and finds them generally monstrous.

Although the pollen of _C. adami_ is thus in appearance good, it does not follow, according {389} to M. Naudin's observations [902] on M.rabilis, that it would be functionally effective.
