Abstract
GENICALLY inherited a synapsis is sometimes met with in a number of plant species, according to observations made by various workers during the last ten years. The most remarkable cases were recently reviewed by Prakken1. In a number of the oases observed it was, however, not possible to say with any certainty if the lack of chiasmata at meiosis really was genically determined or not. One of these uncertain cases was observed by Yamamoto2 in a Japanese male plant of Rumex Acetosa, but in Rumex angiocarpus I observed3 asynapsis, which most possibly is of the modificatory type.
