Only distinct phenotypes were shown.

With a few serrated rosette leaves.
‡
The frequencies of flowering time were as follows: 30 plants flowered at 35–40 days, 81 at 41–50 days, 6 at 51–60 days, and 2 at 61–70 days after germination. The total number of the plants did not add up to 151 because of early senescence of some CASH plants.
