Study on the flowering habit of Ardisia mamillata Hance.

This study aimed to investigate the flowering habit of Ardisia mamillata Hance,to provide theoretical basis for the crossbreeding of A.mamillata.Results show that A.mamillata is not entomophilous but anemophilous.The florescence lasts 40 d from the last 10 d of June to the first 10 d of August;the florescence of single flower is about 1-3 d;there are two peaks of individual florescence;the gregarious flowering belongs to abundant centralized pattern,which is conducive to the reproductive success and provides convenience for the crossbreeding of A.mamillata.
