E. L. Turcotte and Carl V. Feaster IN I960 two aberrant plants, identical in appearance, were observed in an experimental strain of Pima cotton, Gossypium barbadense L. The abnormal plants had small, shrivelled, and empty bolls with sunken tips, indicating sterility. These plants were pruned and transplanted to the greenhouse where subsequent observations revealed several floral abnormalities. The stigmas and styles were dwarfed and did not emerge from the androecium (Figure 1).
