MALE FLOWERS OF THE HYBRID 
There is nothing in this inflorescence which resembles the flowers of the mother (Tripsacum), 
shown in Fig. 5. But every detail resembles the corresponding detail of the male flowers 
of the paternal parent (Euchlaena), shown in the preceding illustration (Fig. 8). This 
similarity with the male parent, and exclusion of all the characteristics of the female 
parent, appear in all the traits of the hybrids, and have led to the belief that we are here 
dealing with a new type of inheritance, which has received the name of patrogenesis.
