@oristarA,
No, it means that those traits are seen, individually, in the parent forms, and not seen together in any other case. As an example:
A sailing vessel rigged fore-and-aft has sails which are rigged along the center line of the ship. A sailing vessel which is square rigged has sails which are rigged on spars hung perpendicular to the center line of the ship. The two forms are distinct; otherwise seen together only on a hermaphrodite brig.
A fore and aft rigged ship
A square rigged ship
Hermaphrodite brig
So, hermaphrodite brigs combine the two types of sail rigging, which are
otherwise not seen together. I don't feel that i'm getting the distinction across here, but this is the best i can do.
