Figure 21. The multiflorous variation of Burt oats looks not unlike a first generation 

 hybrid between hulled and naked oats, as described by other authors. However, its genetic 

 behavior is entirely different. No segregation occurs in later generations, which would be 

 expected if the form were a hybrid.
