**4. Cross between the two hermaphrodites of** *Fragaria moschata*

The F1 progeny of the cross of the hermaphrodites, *F*. *moschata* 'Kotka' 'Loimaa' comprised 21 females, 10 hermaphrodites and 37 males. Pooling females and hermaphrodites together, the ratio 31: 37 would fit to a 1: 1 segregation, (χ<sup>2</sup> = 0.529, df = 1, p = 0.467). The offspring of the reciprocal cross has not been studied. The genetic bases of the hermaphroditism in 'Kotka' and 'Loimaa' are different.

Three berries around the 'Kotka' hermaphrodite were taken in 2015. These were evidently from female flowers open-pollinated by the near-by hermaphrodite, and as appeared later, one by *F*. *vesca*. The offspring of the three berries were much alike. Along with typical musk strawberries, two of the berry-series produced also variegating, morphologically distinct and weak seedlings (**Table 1**, **Figure 6**) and one exceptional seedling with 2n = 28 chromosomes, the *F*. *vesca* hybrid (see next sections).
