10-Protogyny

[FMP-field: image]

Protogyny — Again, in the first day flower, the stigmas are receptive and the anthers have not begun to shed pollen. In the second day flower, the anthers are shedding pollen and the stigmas are no longer receptive. These images show two different species of Aristolochia, A. tomentosa and A. fimbriata.

Photos taken by K. R. Robertson and D. L. Nickrent of plants cultivated at the University of Illinois.
