apomictic, was use of the word seedling

Most definitely some rain lilies are apomictic. As I have found since
hybridising them. Do you know if that book mentioned which ones were
apomictic, Jim? So far I have found no list of which are or aren't. I
have a short list myself, from experience and bits read in different
articles, but would love to know more about which are and which aren't.

Some rain lilies are also supposed to be apomictic. I think the
Grants did a study on parthenogenic "species" in the rain lilies about
20 or 30 years ago. They wrote a book on plant speciation that
mentioned it, as far as I can recall....
