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....

I have no idea if any of the geophytes this mailing list focuses on are
apomictic, however. Perhaps the more botanically minded subscribers can
enlighten us?
