Variant Hybrids 



It will be seen that the different tigridias hold rather 

 closely to the same characteristic type of flower. There is, 

 nevertheless, a good range of variation as to size, precise contour of 

 petals, and color. Of course the hybrids show combinations of 

 characters that are not united in any single one of their 

 parents. There is the usual tendency to the segre- 

 gation of these characters into many new 

 groups in the second generation.
