Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Gomesa bifolia was mainly self-incompatible, non-autogamous and pollinator-dependent.
- Intervention effect Manual cross-pollination had 100 percent fruit set, higher than self-pollination.
- Observation Manual self-pollination had 30.8 percent fruit set.
- Observation Control flowers did not set fruit.
- Observation Centris trigonoides females were the exclusive pollinators.
- Observation Pollinator visit rate was low.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the deceit/pollination syndrome should not apply to all Oncidiinae flowers.
