| 中文摘要 | the combined occurrence of both herkogamy and dichogamy in a hermaphrodite species has been considered to strongly favour outcrossing. in this study, we investigated in detail the reproductive ecology of gentiana straminea maxim. (gentianaceae), a hermaphrodite perennial endemic to the qinghai-tibet plateau. in a series of observations and experiments over four consecutive years, we examined whether the combination of dichogamy and herkogamy in individual flowers completely prevents geitonogamous pollen transfer in this species. the mode of floral development clearly indicates that autonomous self-pollination is completely avoided through herkogamy and dichogamy in individual flowers. this implication was confirmed by the breeding experiments, since no seed was produced when flowers were isolated. however, this gentian proved to be highly self-compatible when geitonogamous selfing was artificially induced. many flowers opened simultaneously on individual plants, the ratio of male to female phase flowers was close to 2:1 in each inflorescence, at the full anthesis phase, and they were randomly distributed amongst the upper, middle and lower parts of each stem's inflorescence. on average, bombus sushikini skorikov, the most frequent visitor and only legitimate pollinator of g. straminea, visited nearly two flowers per inflorescence, and four flowers per plant. among the pollinators' foraging bouts, the proportions of geitonogamous visits to inflorescences or flowers within an individual plant were 29% and 37%, respectively. therefore, despite the strict dichogamous and herkogamous characteristics of the individual flowers, geitonogamous selfing might still prevail in g. straininea because of the size of its floral displays and the continuous visiting behavior of b. sushkini.
