Breeding system of Embothrium coccineum (Proteaceae) in two populations on different slopes of the Andes

Plant breeding systems are considered to reflect species' life history characteristics, selection due to biotic or abiotic factors, pollination conditions, or a combination of these. Reproductive systems may vary over ecological gradients. The breeding system of the ornithophilous Embothrium co...
