✦ Synopsis
The anthocyanin pigmentation patterns of stem, epicalyx, calyx, fading corolla, colour of anthers and petal spot character were studied in Hibiscus sabdariffa L. The stem and epicalyx pigmentation are controlled by the c and r genes. The two genes C and R are involved so far as calyx pigmentation, fading corolla colour and the anther and spot colours are concerned but an additional factor f is assumed to explain the segregation of the calyx pigmentation and fading corolla colour. Thus, a total of three genes (c, Y, f) is distinguished, segregating independently.
The interlnedius type resembles the green-light-red rype of altissima in stem and epicalyx pigmentation but shows distinct differences in calyx pigmentation and fading corolla colour.
