Floral biology ofTorilis leptophylla (L.) Reichenb. f.

Abstract

Torilis leptophylla, an andromonoecious umbellifer, practises a blend of geitonogamy and outbreeding. Although it exhibits strong dichogamy at the level of individual flowers, in the full plant, pistillate and staminate phases overlap. The ratio of hermaphrodite to staminate flowers is 0·37 which is intermediate to those recorded for other andromonoecious umbellifers.
