To my mind the real value of the discovery [687] of the mutability of the evening-primrose lies in its usefulness as a guide for further work.
The relation between mutability and fluctuating variability has always been one of the chief difficulties of the followers of Darwin.
Formulating the laws ofmutability for the evening-primroses we therefore assume that they hold good for numerous other corresponding cases.
By the alternative view mutability must have been a periodic phenomenon, producing at times new qualities, and at other times leaving the plants unchanged during long successions of generations.
From this they have inherited the mutability or the capacity of producing at their turn new mutants.

But this result was only a secondary gain, a meager consolation for the negative fact that no real mutability could be discovered.
Perhaps mutability has not wholly ceased in them, but, might be found to survive in some of their members.
Then, of course, it would be useless to investigate the causes of mutability at large, and we should have to limit ourselves to the testing of large numbers of plants in order to ascertain which are mutable and which not.

It is probable that nutrition plays as important a part among the external causes of mutability as it does among those of fluctuating variability.
In the case of retrogressive and degressive mutability the internal cause is at once apparent, for it is this which causes the disappearance or reappearance of some character.
The external causes of this curious period of mutability are as yet wholly unknown and can hardly be guessed at, since the origin of the Oenothera Lamarckiana is veiled in mystery.
