Abstract
Investigates the breeding system of Zephyranthes atamasco (which may or may not apply to var. treatiae). Zephyranthes atamasco is fully self-compatible and viable seeds are produced following self-pollination. Although the species is self-compatible, autogamous seed production is low due to the floral morphology.Suggested Citation
