“…Despite the presence of the net bag, these insects can easily get in, which was also reported by Annand (1926). The role of thrips in the pollination of various plant species is well known (Annadurai and Velayudhan, 1986). Many thrips spend most of their entire adult and larval life in flowers.…”

The breeding system in Orchidaceae generates many questions about the selfing potential of its representatives. We investigated the ability of spontaneous autogamy of four orchid species: Cephalanthera rubra and Neottia ovata of the Neottieae tribe and Gymnadenia conopsea and Platanthera bifolia of the Orchideae tribe. These species represent diverse specializations of the gynostemium architecture. The self-compatibility and properties of autogamous seeds were determined in a bagging experiment and seed development analysis. After induced autogamy, a high level of fruiting (80-100%) was noted in all of the four study species. C. rubra, N. ovata, and G. conopsea are completely self-compatible, and P. bifolia is suggested to be partially self-compatible. If autogamy occurred, inbreeding depression and resource limitation on seed development appeared only in the two Orchideae species. Independent of flower specialization, both Neottieae species and P. bifolia were completely allogamous, whereas G. conopsea could be facultatively autogamous.

Thrips Cross‐Pollination ofPopowia pisocarpa(Annonaceae) in a Lowland Dipterocarp Forest in Sarawak¹

This paper reports thrips (Thysanoptera) cross‐pollination in the primitive angiosperm, Popowia pisocarpa (Annonaceae), in lowland rain forest of Sarawak, Malaysia. Flowers of P. pisocarpa have a tiny pollination chamber (3–4 mm in depth) with the entrance almost closed by the disk‐shaped stigmatic heads, allowing only small insects to enter. Experiments showed that thrips were effective pollinators and flowers ofP. pisocarpa were self‐incompatible. Seed set was limited by pollen. Clumped adult trees had higher seed‐set than more distant individuals (>5 m from nearest flowering neighbor), indicating limited inter‐tree movement by thrips.
