mutant?
Hiking in the mountains near Albuquerque, there are lots of yellow
daisy-like flowers which I think are close to Tetraneuris (or Hymenoxys) acaulis, stemless goldflower or stemless rubberweed or whatever. Occasionally I see a plant that has different flowers, with the petals replaced by what looks like sterile projecting flowers. Maybe one in 50 plants have this- also occasionally one will have half the petals strange. All flowers on such a plant have the same apprearance. Anyone know what is the correct interpretation or this phenomenon. Low frequency recessive gene? Mutant? Developmental malfunction? Just curious. Rick |
