Exactly. You can not necessarily SEE that a plant is polyploid.

Is polyploidy sometimes associated with fucked up looking leaf arrangements? Yes... single bladed or scrunched leaves can show as a result of the polyploid condition.

But seriously it IS important to call things by the correct names. Othewise why bother naming them at all? If we can't call them by their names, we should agree to call them 'those plants with 3 cotyledons' and have done with it.

Sheesh this is the DUMBEST thing to argue about. I feel stupider just for joining this discussion.

Abbatoir Dream, you're getting there, but your youth still puts its foot in its mouth sometimes.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . 3 cotyledon leaves??? Is it normal for some blueberry or romulan seeds to have 3 cotyledon leaves?? Also, instead of 2 normal leaves forming after the cotyledon leaves, theres 3!!! ill post a pic later, i have to fix my camera. Rating: 5
