Abstract
Researches the reproductive ecology of a potentially declining variety (sullivantii) of Rudbeckia fulgida. Data was collected on the species' breeding system, seed set, and flower visitors at seven populations in northeastern Illinois. Results indicate that R. fulgida var. sullivantii is mostly self-incompatible. Insects from 32 families were identified as flower visitors to R. fulgida var. sullivantii.Suggested Citation
