BSA Plant Images Online - Chimeric Branches of the Sawara False Cypress, Chamaecyparis pisifera `nana aureovariegata'
Chimeric branches of the sawara false cypress, Chamaecyparis pisifera `nana aureovariegata' collected at Bernheim Forest, Clermont, Kentucky. Albino mutant sectors give rise irreversibly to completely albino branches, suggesting a single cell is the fount of all cells of a shoot.
