📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Holmskioldia species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects. Flowering/Fruiting: October-December/End of the cold and hot season; Almost throughout the year.
