Abstract
Examines self-pollination in Kosteletzkya virginica (syn. K. pentacarpos). This species has a well-developed capacity for selfing based on similar levels of fruit set in self- and cross-pollinated plants. This species exhibits delayed selfing, only if stigmas did not receive external pollen at the end of anthesis days.Suggested Citation
