Double Flowers: Rediscovery of Theopharastus's Findings

Present study has been carried out in the state of Punjab from 2020 to 2022. Petal and stamen variation were recorded in five species such as Citrullus colocynthis, Datura innoxia, Solanum nigrum, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and Vinca rosea. Normal number of petals are five in these species but variations were recorded from four to six petals as well as in stamens. This study will be useful for researchers, scientists and geneticist for analysis of gene expression which is responsible for this variation.
