Abstract excerpt
The diverse features of floral morphology are often thought to be well-designed mechanisms to manipulate plant mating systems. We evaluated the effectiveness of one such mechanism, anther-stigma separation (herkogamy), in controlling variation in the level of outcrossing among plants in a population of Gilia achilleifolia. Variation in outcrossing rates within populations has the potential to influence the...
