We studied the reproductive system of Capparis jacobinae Moric ex Eichler (Brassicaceae), based on controlled hand-pollination and observation of pollen tube growth made in a fluorescence microscope. Of 105 self-pollinated flowers only one produced fruits (success = 0.95%), all the other flowers abs...
