Convection in a fluid layer heated from below with two immiscible components A and B of the same average density exhibits different states of motion. Besides a solution describing convection in sublayers other solutions in which fluid B is surrounded by streamlines of fluid A or vice versa are possible. Potential applications to the problem of mantle convection are discussed.
