Species reproductive habits: Self fertile or not.

[kadakuda]

I was thinking of asking specifically for a new flowering plant, but thought it would be far more useful to have a list of plants we have grown (meaning personal experience, not regurgitated internet speak) of plants that can produce viable seed by themselves vs those that need a buddy.

As it were, my Voacanga africana are flowering, but they are all cuttings from a single plant so was wondering about them as some of my other Apocynaceae don't produce seed solo.

Just an ongoing list as we find out we add to it. Lots of plants i have growing i cannot find a real good definitive answer on (mostly due to lack of interested i assume).

Lets use botanical names as a base and lower ranks when known/relevant.

Argyreia nervosa - Both. Have had plants totally sterile as well as plants that are setting seed alone within 9 months.

Banisteriopsis caapi- Self sterile based on single plants of Tunkunaca type.

Brugmansia aurea - self sterile

Brugmansia suaveolens- self sterile

Lophophora williamsii - Self fertile, some plants seemingly less so or not.

Mitragyna speciosa - Self sterile (based on multiple single clones growing together without viable seed for 6 years). 'Formosa' clone.

I'll add to the list as well soon but wanted to start this now before i forget, gotta run.
