As usual the terms sport and mutation are mixed
A mutation is a change in DNA and can be inherited
A sport is a shoot that is different from the motherplant. A seedling is
never a sport.
Sport is not an official term. However it covers changes without knowing
what actually has happened.
Possibilities:
A. mutation ( a change in DNA), B. somatic recombination ( exchange of
chromosome parts, in heterozygous plants)) C. chimaeral rearrangement . The
latter is a shift in the three layers like a green or yellow branch in a
variegated leafed plant

> Hi,
>
> The 'Flora of Oregon' is getting ready to be published and can now be
> preordered from the website below [1]. Volume 1 includes all monocots as
> well as pteridophytes and gymnosperms. Volumes 2 and 3 will be the dicots.
> The book looks and sounds amazing!

> Here is a description of the book from the website [1] below:
>
> "The Oregon Flora Project, Oregon State University, and Botanical Research
> Institute of Texas Press have collaborated to publish the Flora of Oregon,
> the first comprehensive flora of Oregon in over 50 years?with illustrations!
>
> The Flora of Oregon is a three-volume reference that will be the only
> state flora published in the past half century and the first illustrated
> floristic work that exclusively addresses Oregon. Volume 1 presents
> treatments of the pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and monocots?1,054 taxa, or
> 23% of all native and naturalized vascular plants of Oregon. The taxonomic
> treatments include dichotomous keys, family and generic synopses, full
> taxon descriptions, and illustrations. A dot map depicting vouchered
> occurrences and highlighted ecoregions that host the taxon accompanies each
> description. There are pen and ink illustrations of 521 taxa, including 86
> new works by artist John Myers.
>
> Color photographs accompany chapters describing the state?s ecology and

> A valuable reference for land managers, policy-makers, naturalists,
