Abstract
IN view of the fact that many of Nature's most striking colour effects are produced as the result of harmonious groupings of highly coloured plant life, and that it is to the various plant pignoments that these fine tints owe their origin, it is not surprising that chemists have striven, from quite early days of the science, to elucidate the chemical structure of these colouring matters, and botanists to discover their relationship to the vital activities of plant life.
