- Association Heterospecific pollen was deposited on most stigmas and fruit set was depressed in I. noli-tangere flowers within 2 m of the other species.
- Association Heterospecific pollen was deposited on most stigmas and fruit set was depressed in I. textori flowers within 2 m of the other species.
- Intervention effect Hand pollination with 10% heterospecific pollen decreased I. noli-tangere fruit set to less than half.
- Intervention effect Hand pollination with 10% heterospecific pollen decreased I. textori fruit set to less than half.
