On the Inheritance of Balsam

Abstract

The writer detected nine pairs of allelomorphs in balsam. Three of them constitute a linkage group. Striped flowers were also one of his subject which were hoped to be solved. They produce habitually mono-chromatic flowers as mutants. The flowers in ground color are also yielded by the striped strains. The mono-chromatic bud-variation of flower color on the striped plants occurs frequently, but it is not inherited.
