Abstract
The floral characteristics of the bearing (“female”) and the non-bearing (“male”) trees of this significant spice tree crop were investigated.
Observations were carried out on floral diameter, androecial and gynoecial characteristics as well as pollen grain viability.
Statistical analyses showed significant differences in the floral phenology among the sexual morphs, reflective of a stable gender specialisation operative within P. dioica.
