Abstract  

The flower and pollination characteristics of four Calligonum L. species cultivated in the Turpan Eremophyte Botanical Garden were investigated by measurement of floral organs, observation of flowering dynamics, pollen ovule ratio and behaviors of pollinators. The main results are as follows: The flowers of the four species are bisexual. Differences are founded in the color and size of flowers among species. The flowering dynamics for singular flower is identical, with pollens gradually presented. The fragrance is mainly from anther and receptacle. Their pollens are the "starch" pollen, with the P/O value ranged 31000-44750. The pollinators are essential for pollen dispersal and the entomoplily and anemophily are two main intermediaries. The most effective pollinators are Apis mellifera, which are typical high removed and low deposited. High visiting frequency and repeated visits increase the pollination efficiency significantly. The quantity and quality of pollens have no matter with high inembryonate rate, and it might be caused by the pollen clogging and resource limitations. The mechanism of high inembryonate rate is still not clear and needed further study.
