Abstract
Evaluates the incidence of self-pollination and inbreeding depression in introduced populations of Kosteletzkya virginica (syn. K. pentacarpos) in China. Selfing rates were significantly correlated with pollinator failure. There was evidence of strong inbreeding depression.Suggested Citation
