Abstract
Abstract Plants with a compact growth habit have been identified in populations of Cuphea leptopoda Hemsley. The primary morphological effect has been shown to be conditioned by a single recessive gene, designated si for shortened internodes. Short internodes on compact plants result in reduced length of the main stem, reduced number and length of both primary and secondary branches, and reduced flowering resulting from a decrease in number of flowers per node on the main stem and branches. The compact growth habit and more concentrated flowering of the shortened-internode plants may have horticultural and agronomic value in new interspecific hybrids being developed.
