A true-breeding purple-leafed plant isolated from one side of El Yunque, the rain forest in Puerto Rico, was crossed to a true-breeding white variety found on the other side. The F1 offspring were all purple. A large number of F1 × F1 crosses produced the following results:

purple: 4219 white: 5781 (Total = 10,000)
