ABSTRACT

Capparis decidua (Forsk) Pax, commonly known as Kair, is an important indigenous shrub found growing along farm boundaries, orans, gochars (local grasslands) and wastelands, widely distributed in arid and semi-arid tracts of India. It is a densely branched shrub, a height of 4-5 m, with a clear bole of 2.5 m. Reproductive biology was studied in plants growing at Agra. Time of anthesis, stigma receptivity, pollen fertility, pollen germination, pollen-ovule ratio and pollination biology were studied.
