Abstract
Whereas our knowledge of the mode of inheritance of flower colour has made rapid and sure advance of recent years, our understanding of the chemistry of the process of pigment formation in flowers is still uncertain and incomplete. The researches of Miss Wheldale (1911) on flower-pigments and of Gortner and others on animal-pigments have confirmed and extended the conclusions of earlier workers, and it may now be regarded as an established fact that the formation of pigment in plants and in animals is due to the action of an oxydase on a more or less colourless chromogen.
