Variation in sexual reproduction in orchids and its evolutionary consequences: a spasmodic journey to diversification

TL;DR: It is reaffirmed that orchids are primarily pollination limited, the severity of which is affected by resource constraints and population structure, reproductive success and gene flow among populations suggest that in many situations genetic drift may be as important as selection in fostering genetic and morphological variation in this family.

Self-incompatibility, Inbreeding Depression and Crossing Potential in Five BrazilianPleurothallis (Orchidaceae) Species

TL;DR: Self-incompatibility and inbreeding depression are apparently important in the maintenance of the unusually high levels of genetic variability found in these Pleurothallis species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproductive biology and pollination mechanisms of Epidendrum secundum (Orchidaceae). Floral variation: a consequence of natural hybridization?

TL;DR: The anthropogenic perturbation is probably the cause of the occurrence of E. secundum in the Picinguaba region, enabling its contact with E. fulgens, and suggesting that natural hybridization occasionally occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproductive biology of Cyrtopodium polyphyllum (Orchidaceae): a Cyrtopodiinae pollinated by deceit.

TL;DR: The low capsule production under natural conditions was expected, but the reproductive success of C. polyphyllum is assured through self-pollination by rain and high seed viability.
