Summary
-
1.
On trees of the var. Shamooti bud variations are found from time to time which can not be distinguished from the var. Belladi.
-
2.
Very rarely Shamooti bud variations are found on trees of Belladi.
-
3.
It is therefore very probable that the Shamooti has been produced as a bud variation by the older and more widely distributes Belladi.
-
4.
So far bud variations on the Shamooti have only been found on older trees.
