Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Grevillea was self compatible in both populations.
- Observation Pollen viability and stigma maturation showed protandry.
- Observation Flowering within inflorescences was acropetalous.
- Association In the first season, the larger population produced about ten times more inflorescences.
- Association Flowers per inflorescence did not differ significantly between populations in the first season.
- Association The larger population produced more fruit per inflorescence than the smaller population.
- Observation Fruit to flower ratios were below 0.2 in both populations and seasons.
- Association Fruit number was significantly greater at proximal than medial and distal positions.
- Observation Several bird species visited flowers.
- Observation Few birds foraged at plants in the smaller population.
- Association Birds made more within plant than between plant visits in both populations.
