Forest Vines to Snow Tussocks: The Story of New Zealand Plants
Figure 4 Kaikomako (Pennantia corymbose): A New Zealand example of dioecism. The female flower on the left has a well developed ovary at the centre, but the small stamens do not produce viable pollen. The male flower on the right has only a rudimentary nonfunctional ovary, not discernible in this photo, but has large stamens with long filaments. Kaikomako is probably wind-pollinated. Photo: B. V.
