Abstract
AN investigation to find the mode of inheritance of style-length in the tristylic species Oxalis articulata Savign., the gardeners' floribunda, was begun in 1949 when the genetic situation in O. valdiviensis had been established1,2. In the latter species inheritance is disomic ; there are two linked dominant genes, that for Short being epistatic to Mid, and the long-styled form is the double recessive.
