Pollination and breeding biology of Large-flowered Bellwort, Uvularia grandiflora

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: The pollination and breeding biology of Uvularia grandiflora, a spring flowering herb, was studied in central Illinois.Outcrossing was the primary mode of sexual reproduction.The principle pollinators were queen bumblebees (Bombus griseocollis).A suite of adaptations, including flower morphology, phenology, amount of pollen, and pattern of anther dehiscence, were consistent with queen bumblebee pollination.
