Floral design in Polemonium brandegei (Polemoniaceae): genetic and phenotypic variation under hawkmoth and hummingbird pollination

Kulbaba M and Worley A. 2008. Floral design in Polemonium brandegei (Polemoniaceae): genetic and phenotypic variation under hawkmoth and hummingbird pollination. International Journal of Plant Science. 169(4):509-522

We examined continuous variation in anther position, style length, herkogamy, and flower shape in Polemonium brandegei and observed pollinators, measured flower shape and sex organ position and estimated heritabilities and genetic correlations among floral traits in the greenhouse. The two major pollinators were hummingbirds Selasphorus platycercus and hawkmoths Hyles lineata and Hyles gallii.
