Sexual: meiotic, requiring fertilization No seed forms Reduced hybrids (n+n) aaaapppp 22

Nomenclature in parentheses follows the convention of Harlan and de Wet (56) in which the nuclear state of the egg is represented on the left of the addition sign and the nuclear state of the sperm is on the right.
