Flowering & PollinationWhat is herkogamy when interpreting mango flower structure?
Herkogamy describes spatial separation of pollen-producing and pollen-receiving structures within a flower. It differs from separation in the timing of their function. Observing their positions can help explain why pollen transfer is needed even in a bisexual flower, without establishing that a particular tree is incapable of self-fertilization under all conditions.
