| I guess I will dispatch this... someone in the Name that Plant forum actually identified my mutated plant part photo as a 'pantaloon'. I was surprised to find that these things and several others mutant combos have names. |

| I found another occassion to post this elsewhere, and I thought of this post. Since posting this I have learnt that such an oddity is known as a "homeotic mutation". There is an interesting discussion going on in the daylily forum about a daylily with petaloid leaves. |

| They are found fairly commonly among cultivars of some plant groups, for example azaleas. Sometimes described as "hose-in-hose" (which may go back to the time when hose meant sock or stocking). |

| O. F. Cook (1926) called these "Metaphanic Variations". There are lots of them around if we bother to look. I have seen tulips with an extra organ - part leaf, part petal - on the stem where no such organ belongs. And I have seen agapanthus with the spathe-valves colored the same shade of "blue" as the flowers. The so-called Green Rose bears a rosette of green sepals blotched with red in place of petals and stamens. Then there was a daylily with a leafy 9 inch bract. Petaloid stamens, stamenoid petals, nectaries on leaves ... the list goes on and on. Karl |
