Crinum self-fertility

Joe, yes, some clones do.
I have around 150 bulbs of this species and they accept thier own pollen.
Crinum bulbispermum is one of the biggest self seeds producers in Crinum.
Best wishes,
Dash.

In the self-compatible case, they are not clones of the mother plant

there is still a mixing of genetic material during gamete formation and

Hi,
I have enjoyed the discussion of pollination and apomixis, but I missed it
if
any explained about Crinum bulbispermum.
Does anyone know if C. bulbispermum bulbs accept their own pollen?
Cordially,
Joe
