Thanks Phil, --good to know. Now I need not try this cross. We would
probably get the same results in other such crossings as I suggested in
D. peltata X rosetted tuber. Your findings are interesting too because
this shows that D. whittakeri and D. stolonifera are not as closely
related as one may have expected.
