CHIMERA IN A CANNA LILY 



A canna lily of the purple or bronze leaved red flowering variety in which a change took 

 place apparently in a cell or cells of the root at the point where the bud pushed out 

 causing the chimera in the stem, leaves and flowers. Areas of the bronze leaves changed to 

 pure green and flower color changed from red to yellow. The open flower on the left side 

 ot the stalk is half red and half yellow. (Photograph by courtesv of Professor W. T.
