Gender specialisation and stigma height dimorphism in Mediterranean Lithodora fruticosa (Boraginaceae). [PDF]
, 2017 Dimorphism in style height has evolved repeatedly in flowering plants, with some individuals having short and others long styles; in the case of distylous species, stigma position varies reciprocally with that of the anthers.

Distyly, Self-Incompatibility, and Evolution in Melochia [PDF]
Evolution, 1967 The genus Melockia of the subfamily Hermannieae, Sterculiaceae, includes about 60 species which are widely distributed through the tropics, and, less extensively, through the temperate zone. An encounter with a distylic species, M. tomentosa L., on the desert island of Mona, suggested this study of selfand cross-incompatibility.

Correlation between distyly and ploidy level in Damnacanthus (Rubiaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2004 Somatic chromosomes were observed in 661 individuals of 14 taxa, nine species and five varieties, of Damnacanthus (Rubiaceae). Chromosome numbers are reported for the first time for 13 taxa. Diploid (2n = 22) and tetraploid (2n = 44) counts were obtained. Distyly is reported for the first time for four species, D. angustifolius, D. henryi, D. labordei,

Distylous traits in Cordia dodecandra and Cordia sebestena (Boraginaceae) from the Yucatan Peninsula
Botanical Sciences, 2014 Distyly is a genetically-controlled polymorphism with two floral morphs exhibiting spatial, reciprocal separation between stigmas and anthers; one morph has long styles and short stamens and the other short styles and long stamens.

Variation in Sex Allocation and Floral Morphology in an Expanding Distylous Plant Hybrid Complex [PDF]
, 2014 Premise of research. Sex allocation, the relative energy devoted to producing pollen, ovules, and floral displays, can significantly affect reproductive output and population dynamics.

Floral development at multiple spatial scales in Polygonum jucundum (Polygonaceae), a distylous species with broadly open flowers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Distyly, a special polymorph, has evolved in many groups of angiosperms and has attracted attention since Darwin's time. Development studies on distylous taxa have helped us to understand the evolutionary process of this polymorph, but most of these ...

Heterostyly in Goniolimon italicum (Plumbaginaceae), endemic to Abruzzo (central Apennines, Italy) [PDF]
, 2015 Goniolimon italicum is an endemic species to central Apennines (Italy). Here we provide the first report of heterostyly in this species. Two morphological types were identified: an S-morph with stamen filaments longer than gynoecia, stigmas with a ...

Botanical Sciences, 2018 Background: Heterostyly is a genetic polymorphism characterized by a system of sporophyte auto-incompatibility in which the plant populations show two (distyly) or three (tristyly) floral morphs.

Disassortative mating prevails in style-dimorphic Narcissus papyraceus despite low reciprocity and compatibility of morphs [PDF]
, 2015 Evolution to reduce inbreeding can favor disassortative (inter-morph) over assortative (intramorph) mating in hermaphroditic sexually polymorphic plant species.
