A ballistic pollen dispersal system influences pollination success and fruit-set pattern in pollinator-excluded environments for the endangered species Synaphea stenoloba (Proteaceae)

The critically endangered Synaphea stenoloba (Proteaceae) has numerous scentless flowers clustered in dense inflorescences and deploys a ballistic pollen ejection mechanism to release pollen. We examined the hypothesis that active pollen ejection and flowering patterns within an inflorescence influe...
