Time-resolved spectroscopy has revealed small, systematically varying features superimposed on the broad emission lines of WR stars. We believe that these structures are due to inhomogeneities of emitting wind material propagating with the general wind. Here we suggest a common, but still unknown, origin for the intrinsic variations observed in WR stars.
