Convergent evolutionary patterns of heterostyly across angiosperms support the pollination-precision hypothesis
Abstract Since the insights by Charles Darwin, heterostyly, a floral polymorphism with morphs bearing stigmas and anthers at reciprocal heights, has become a model system for the study of natural selection. Based on his archetypal heterostylous flower, including regular symmetry, few stamens and a t...
