One possible etymology that has been suggested is: Βελλεροφόντης from βέλεμνον, βελόνη, βέλος
Chimera (genetics) parents, different cultivars or different species (which may belong to different genera). The tissues may be partially fused together following grafting to form a single growing organism that preserves both types of tissue in a single shoot. Just as the constituent species are likely to differ in a wide range of features, so the behavior of their periclinal chimeras is like to be highly variable. The first such known chimera was probably the Bizzaria, which is a fusion of the Florentine citron and the sour orange. Well-known examples of a graft-chimera are "Laburnocytisus" 'Adamii', caused by a fusion of a
