FLOWER INITIATION IN PROTEA AND TELOPEA |
| Authors: | S.A. Dupee, P.B. Goodwin |
| Abstract:
Growth measurements of Protea neriifolia 'Salmon Pink' and Protea cynaroides 'Long Leaf' after flowering indicate multiple flushes of growth. Floral initiation occurs in P. neriifolia after the first spring flush. P. cynaroides may initiate flower heads only during two short periods after the two flushes each year. Floral primordia of Telopea speciosissima were examined using dissection and scanning electron microscope techniques. | |
