Abstract
Estimates the frequency of outcrossing in Iris hexagona and I. fulva. Outcrossing rate estimates were relatively high for populations of both species. In I. hexagona, seeds resulting from self-pollination when more flowers were open on the same plant rather than other plants.Suggested Citation
