You are correct. 'X' would be the same and the clonal name would carry
forward only if 'X' had been meristemmed. A selfing produces a genetic
spectrum of progeny, and is how many albinos or recessive colors that breed
true are found.

Hi group,

I'm rather new at this (but I'm learning quickly), so sorry for all the
questions on small technical details, but...

I was wondering, if we had something like Phal ABC 'X' x self, would the
progeny all be Phal ABC 'X', or can 'X' be only used for exact clones of
the original plant? That would make sense as selfing would still
produce a genetic spectrum of progeny, but I thougth I'd ask to make sure.

Cheers,
Xi
