Flowering phenology and reproductive features of the Epimedium pubescens in Jincheng Mountain
This paper studied phenological characteristics of Epimedium pubescens in three different habitats and its effected on reproductive success by using field observations.The results showed that the flowering span of the popu-lation,individual,inflorescence and single flowering were approximately 22-34,31-41,9-18 and 4-8 d,respec-tively.The flowering amplitudes curves of E.pubescens individual plant in three samples were basically identical,and showed a single peak concentration blossom style.The correlation analysis among the first flowering date,duration, flower number and fruit number showed that there was negative correlation between fruit number and first flowering date and a positive correlation to flower number and duration.
