The breeding system in sandal (Santalum album L.).

Studies on artificial selfing, natural out-crossing and obligatory selfing showed that sandal is a predominantly outbreeding species though its flower structure was designed for self-pollination. However Sandal does produce seeds by selfing. Self incompatibility was observed to some extent. Heterostyly was noticed in some genotypes. The pollinating agents are Bees, Butterflies and Beetles. Apomixis and parthenocarpy were not noticed.
