Synopsis A barren‐sterile character, manifested by the absence of floral parts and sexual organs, was inherited as a monogenic recessive. A few seeds were observed on barren‐sterile plants in one progeny. The chimeral partial‐sterile character was believed to be controlled by recessive genes which were quite mutable. The mode of inheritance was not determined.
