Figures & data
Figure 1 Phenological stages in Gomortega keule. A, Dormant bud. B, Elongation of inflorescence. C, Elongation of pedicel. D, Individual swollen flower bud. E, Flower opening. F, Initiation of anthesis. G, Anthers darkening. H, Dry tepals. I, Conic thalamus. J, Swollen thalamus. K, Thalamus wider than tepals scar. L, Young fruit growing. M, Unripe fruit and fruitset at the stage of conic thalamus on the same branch.
Figure 2 Presence of flower buds, flowers and fruitset over time. Data correspond to the average number of structures per inflorescence (54 inflorescences, 5 trees).
Figure 3 Evolution of fruit diameter over time. Data correspond to means of fruit diameter±SD in a single tree on which 10 ripening fruits and 4 unripe fruits were recorded. Triangles without lines indicate that one or more fruits fell, the average being calculated with fewer than 10 fruits; the last triangle corresponds to one fruit.
Figure 4 Proposed reproductive phenology of Gomortega keule, inferred from a 1-year observation period. The numbers indicate the numerical day of the year (1 = 01 January).
