- Observation Anthesis of a single Chirita lutea flower lasted 6-12 days.
- Observation Chirita lutea flowers opened at noset time.
- Observation During anthesis, pollen viability of Chirita lutea was retained at about 80%.
- Observation Stigma receptivity of Chirita lutea was retained at about 75-90%.
- Observation The mean P/O ratio of Chirita lutea was 1 215.73±266.13.
- Observation The stigma of Chirita lutea was higher than the anther after one day of flowering.
- Observation The stigma of Chirita lutea reached the entrance of the collar tube when the pollen was dispersed.
- Observation Field experiments indicated that Chirita lutea is self-compatible.
- Observation Chirita lutea shows no agamospermy.
