Abstract


In the year 1929 in the course of a number of seed germinations of Ragi, odd instances occurred in which, two seedlings were found to arise from the same seed. The usual type was with two plumules and two radicles. Very rarely, two plumules in one coleoptile with a single radicle, or a single plumule with two radicles were met with. These seedlings with two plumules and radicles occurred in Family No. E. C. 663 in which out of 13 plants, 5 gave rise to these twins.
