Publication Year:

Abstract:
The resurrection plant Chamaegigas intrepidus Dinter (Scrophulariaceae) is a rare endemic species growing in ephemeral rock pools on isolated granite outcrops in Central Namibia. Previous studies suggested a high degree of gene flow within individual pools. Therefore, floral morphology, pollination and potential pollinators of the plant species were studied while the plants were at full flower set. Keywords: indigenous species, Scrophulariaceae, plant morphology, trichomes, ultrastructure, pollen, plant reproduction, sexual reproduction, pollination, pollinators, Apis mellifera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Namibia, Internet resource.
