The flowering gene Hr (high response to photoperiod) was shown pre­viously to be located near locus M (marbled testa) on chromosome 3 but the relative position of the Hr locus was not established (1). Three-point data (Table 1) in the coupling phase for hr, m, and st (reduced stipules) indicate a map relationship of st-34-m-7-hr.
