  special 
  type 
  of 
  bud-variation, 
  and 
  from 
  this 
  

   point 
  of 
  view 
  we 
  may 
  simplify 
  our 
  inquiry 
  and 
  

   limit 
  ourselves 
  to 
  the 
  inheritance 
  of 
  three 
  types, 
  

   the 
  striped 
  plants, 
  the 
  red 
  plants 
  and 
  the 
  red 
  

   asexual 
  variants 
  of 
  the 
  striped 
  individuals. 
  In 
  

   each 
  case 
  the 
  heredity 
  should 
  be 
  observed 
  not 
  

   only 
  for 
  one, 
  but 
  at 
  least 
  for 
  two 
  successive 
  

   generations.

  remarks

  now 
  

   come 
  at 
  once 
  to 
  the 
  genealogical 
  tree, 
  as 
  it 
  may 
  

   be 
  deduced

  Striped 
  Individual. 
  

  

  This 
  experiment 
  was 
  begun 
  in 
  the 
  year 
  1892 
  

   with 
  one 
  individual 
  out 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  lot 
  of 
  striped 
  

   plants 
  grown 
  from 
  seeds 
  which 
  I 
  had 
  purchased 
  

   from 
  a 
  firm 
  in 
  Erfurt. 
  The 
  capsules 
  were 
  gath- 
  

   ered 
  separately 
  from 
  this 
  individual 
  and 
  about 
  

   40 
  flowering 
  plants 
  were 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  

   seeds 
  in 
  the 
  following 
  year. 
  Most 
  of 
  them 
  had 
  

   neatly 
  striped 
  flowers, 
  some 
  displayed 
  broader 
  

   stripes 
  and 
  spare 
  flowers 
  were 
  seen 
  with 
  one-
