[939] It may be worth while to call attention to the several means by which
flowers and fruit become striped or mottled. Firstly, by the direct action
of the pollen of another variety or species, as with the above-given cases
of oranges and maize. Secondly, in crosses of the first generation, when
the colours of the two parents do not readily unite, as in the cases of
Mirabilis and Dianthus given a few pages back. Thirdly, in crossed plants
of a subsequent generation, by reversion, through either bud or seminal
generation. Fourthly, by reversion to a character not originally gained by
a cross, but which had long been lost, as with white-flowered varieties,
which we shall hereafter see often become striped with some other colour.
Lastly, there are cases, as when peaches are produced with a half or
quarter of the fruit like a nectarine, in which the change is apparently
due to mere variation, through either bud or seminal generation.

collected ('De la Degeneration,' 1837, p. 36) several other instances; but
it is not in all cases possible to distinguish between the direct action of
foreign pollen and bud-variations.
