Abstract:
In Cymbogon caesius some unknown cause which produced the abnormality of inflorescence and that of meiosis has also suppressed the gene which controlled the chromosomal pairing. The true homology of chromosomes is seen when this control has broken down. In C. caesius, out of 10 basic number at least six have homologues which are presented in a multiple of four. These results provide strength to the earlier contention that gene controlled pairing plays an important role in the survival of polyploids in those plant hybrids where the two parental genomes are either similar or only partly different.
