BUD SELECTION 387 
Fic. 159.—Two Coleus plants which descended from the same branch, which at the 
time it was propagated was uniform as to leaf shape and bore leaves having the same 
general type of color pattern, viz., green mid-region and yellow border with red blotches on 
the epidermis. The right hand plant resembles the original plant although it represents 
the fourth vegetative ‘‘generation.’’ The left-hand plant shows the laciniate type of leaf 
which appeared several times as a bud mutation. (From Stout.)

Fic. 160.—Diagram showing derivations of color patterns in Coleus. The descriptive 
name of a color pattern is given only where it first appears in a line of descent. A contin- 
uous line indicates origin by bud mutation and a dotted line indicates fluctuating variation. 
(No. 2 = original form. No. 7 = laciniate-leaved form. H = entire leaves.) (From
