The largest number of instances of this malformation, not merely generically, but also individually, occurs in plants the members of whose floral whorls are not united one to the other; thus, it is far more common in polypetalous plants than in gamopetalous ones.
Well-defined polypetalous and gamopetalous genera sometimes occur in the same order, and even
In the last-named genus, _C. rotundifolia_ has been found with polypetalous flowers in a wild state in the mountains of Canton
