In the former instance the entire main axis of the plant is presumably physiologically double, though structurally one, but in the latter plant the difference is expressed in the splitting up of the entire shoot-system into two main axes, each with its own secondary branches and characteristic foliage.

Fig. 73. Ouagra biennis. Radium Culture, No. I5«, showing two distinct Shoots, morphologicallj unlike, on one Root. Cf. figure 77, and plates 13 and 14. As with the earlier described plant, this one may be interpreted as a kind of bud-sport, but calling it a bud-sport does not explain it. Bud-sporting in pedigreed plants is not unknown, and has been described for pedigreed evening-primroses by MacDougal,^ who says that a possible hybrid ancestry is indicated by the bud-sporting of
