Reproductive Biology of Viscum cruciatum (Viscaceae) in Southern Spain [PDF]
International Journal of Plant Sciences, 1995 The reproductive biology of the dioecious Viscum cruciatum, one of the few viscaceous mistletoes occurring in Europe, was investigated. The male flower is 7.2 mm long and lemon-scented, produces ca. 58,000 pollen grains, and has a dry mass of 14 mg, and thus a low relative staminate effort (RSE) value of 4,059. Female flowers, ca. 3 mm long, 2.7 mg dry
