Abstract
To the editor of Science: Since several species of Taraxacum are parthenogenetic and at the same time highly variable they have. looked like tempting material for the study of certain phases of genetics. Moreover their "polysnorphy," as well as that of other parthenogenetic plants, has served as a partial basis for well-known attempts to explain parthenogenesis as due to hybridization.
