- Observation All three Xyris species formed persistent seed banks.
- Observation All three species showed seasonal changes in germinability.
- Observation Secondary dormancy was acquired during the rainy summer.
- Observation Secondary dormancy was overcome in the subsequent dry season.
- Intervention effect Desiccation partly overcame secondary dormancy in X. trachyphylla seeds.
