Abstract

In bumblebee visits to flowers of Erythronium grandiflorum (Liliaceae), the ratio of self‐ to nonself‐ (“outcross”) pollen grains deposited on the stigma is positively correlated with the degree of stylar exsertion beyond the anthers. Natural populations show substantial, continuous variation in stylar exsertion.
