Diese merkwürdige Erscheinung wurde auch an Hybriden von Phaseolus und Lathyrus beobachtet.
This curious phenomenon was also observed in hybrids of Phaseolus and Lathyrus.
It is curious that Mendel describes this remarkable phenomenon for hybrids, since he suggests in the previous two sentences that it holds generally. This may be an indication that he is reporting observations here that he made during his hybridisation experiments.
Phaseolus Bean. Mendel discusses experiments with P. vulgaris and P. nanus on pp. 32f. of his paper.
Lathyrus Sweet pea. No experiments with plants of this genus are mentioned in Mendel’s paper. However, Gärtner reports experiments in the section of his book that discusses infertility in hybrids, and Mendel annotated these quite intensely; Carl Friedrich Gärtner, Versuche und Beobachtungen über die Bastarderzeugung im Pflanzenreich (Stuttgart: Hering, 1849), Mendel Museum, Collection of the Augustinian Abbey, pp. 83–86.
