Abstract
Examines the effects of combining self and outcross pollen and applying them simultaneously to stigmas of Lobelia cardinalis. Pollen donors were competitively indistinguishable in at least half of the maternal parents. Sexual selection seems to occur pre- rather than post-pollination.Suggested Citation
