Boraginaceae
Boraginaceae, the '''borage''' or forget-me-not family, includes about 2,000 species of shrubs, trees, and herbs in 146 to 154 genera with a worldwide distribution.
See Heterostyly and Boraginaceae
Buckwheat
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) or common buckwheat is a flowering plant in the knotweed family Polygonaceae cultivated for its grain-like seeds and as a cover crop.
Cryptantha
Cryptantha is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae.
See Heterostyly and Cryptantha
David Lloyd (botanist)
David Graham Lloyd (20 June 1937 – 30 May 2006) was an evolutionary biologist and the seventh New Zealander to be elected as a fellow of the Royal Society in London.

Distyly
Distyly is a type of heterostyly in which a plant demonstrates reciprocal herkogamy. Heterostyly and Distyly are plant morphology and Pollination.
Eichhornia
Eichhornia, commonly called water hyacinths, was a polyphyletic genus of the aquatic flowering plants family Pontederiaceae.
See Heterostyly and Eichhornia
Fertilisation
Fertilisation or fertilization (see spelling differences), also known as generative fertilisation, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to give rise to a zygote and initiate its development into a new individual organism or offspring. Heterostyly and fertilisation are Pollination.
See Heterostyly and Fertilisation
Flax
Flax, also known as common flax or linseed, is a flowering plant, Linum usitatissimum, in the family Linaceae.
Floral symmetry
Floral symmetry describes whether, and how, a flower, in particular its perianth, can be divided into two or more identical or mirror-image parts. Heterostyly and Floral symmetry are plant morphology.
See Heterostyly and Floral symmetry
Flower
A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae). Heterostyly and flower are plant morphology and Pollination.
Gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings.
Genetic linkage
Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.
See Heterostyly and Genetic linkage
Gynoecium
Gynoecium (gynoecia) is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds. Heterostyly and Gynoecium are plant morphology.
Herkogamy
Herkogamy (or hercogamy) is the spatial separation of the anthers and stigma in hermaphroditic angiosperms. Heterostyly and Herkogamy are plant morphology and Pollination.
Linum
Linum (flax) is a genus of approximately 200 species The Jepson Manual.
Lythrum
Lythrum is a genus of 38 species of flowering plants native to the temperate world.
Lythrum salicaria
Lythrum salicaria or purple loosestrifeFlora of NW Europe: is a flowering plant belonging to the family Lythraceae.
See Heterostyly and Lythrum salicaria
Oxalidaceae
The Oxalidaceae, or wood sorrel family, are a small family of five genera of herbaceous plants, shrubs and small trees, with the great majority of the 570 species in the genus Oxalis (wood sorrels).
See Heterostyly and Oxalidaceae
Oxalis pes-caprae
Oxalis pes-caprae (African wood-sorrel, Bermuda buttercup, Bermuda sorrel, buttercup oxalis, Cape sorrel, English weed, goat's-foot, sourgrass, soursob or soursop;; (حميضة)) is a species of tristylous yellow-flowering plant in the wood sorrel family Oxalidaceae.
See Heterostyly and Oxalis pes-caprae
Phenotype
In genetics, the phenotype is the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism.
Pollen
Pollen is a powdery substance produced by most types of flowers of seed plants for the purpose of sexual reproduction. Heterostyly and Pollen are plant morphology and Pollination.
Pollination
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther of a plant to the stigma of a plant, later enabling fertilisation and the production of seeds.
See Heterostyly and Pollination
Pollinator
A pollinator is an animal that moves pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower. Heterostyly and pollinator are Pollination.
See Heterostyly and Pollinator
Polymorphism (biology)
In biology, polymorphism is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms, also referred to as alternative phenotypes, in the population of a species.
See Heterostyly and Polymorphism (biology)
Pontederia azurea
Pontederia azurea is a water hyacinth from the Americas, sometimes known as anchored water hyacinth.
See Heterostyly and Pontederia azurea
Pontederia crassipes
Pontederia crassipes (formerly Eichhornia crassipes), commonly known as common water hyacinth, is an aquatic plant native to South America, naturalized throughout the world, and often invasive outside its native range.
See Heterostyly and Pontederia crassipes
Pontederiaceae
Pontederiaceae is a family of flowering plants.
See Heterostyly and Pontederiaceae
Primula
Primula is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Primulaceae.
Primula vulgaris
Primula vulgaris, the common primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to Eurasia.
See Heterostyly and Primula vulgaris
Primulaceae
The Primulaceae, commonly known as the primrose family (but not related to the evening primrose family), are a family of herbaceous and woody flowering plants including some favourite garden plants and wildflowers.
See Heterostyly and Primulaceae
Self-incompatibility
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a general name for several genetic mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization in sexually reproducing organisms, and thus encourage outcrossing and allogamy. Heterostyly and self-incompatibility are Pollination.
See Heterostyly and Self-incompatibility
Stamen
The stamen (stamina or stamens) is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Heterostyly and stamen are plant morphology and Pollination.
Supergene
A supergene is a chromosomal region encompassing multiple neighboring genes that are inherited together because of close genetic linkage, i.e. much less recombination than would normally be expected.
Tristyly
Tristyly is a rare floral polymorphism that consists of three floral morphs that differ in regard to the length of the stamens and style within the flower. Heterostyly and Tristyly are plant morphology and Pollination.
