Tetraploid Siberians have 56 Chromosomes, Diploids have 
28 chromosomes, unless we're talking about Sino-
siberians, in which case Diploids have 40 chromosomes, 
and Tetraploids have 80. Diploid Sino-Siberians can be 
crossed with PCN's, Pacific Coast Natives, yielding 
Calsibes, interspecies hybrids. 
28 Chromosome Siberians can be crossed with Setosa iris, 
yielding Sib-tosa hybrids.
