Re: [aroid-l] self pollination of aroids

From: Marc Gibernau gibernau at cict.fr> on 2003.05.13 at 08:13:11(10248) Dear Zach, Aroids is a big family with great variability. Due to the protogyny, self-pollination is not supposed to be common (but several taxa have overlapping stigma receptivity and pollen release). Arisarum vulgare can be self-pollinated, if you brush the stigma with a paintbrush. +More For example in Arum, you can not self-pollinated within a same inflorescence but in many cases you can "self"-pollinated between inflorescences of a same individuals (that is called geitonogamy). Do you have some genera in mind? All the best, Marc
