! Gynodioecity is prolific within some angiosperm populations. These coexisting individuals within the same population will either be females that canʼt produce pollen, or hermaphrodites which can. Our study attempted to peer into the reasoning behind female persistence in Polemonium foliosissimum, a perennial wildflower native to the Rocky Mountains USA. Through examining resource limitation effects on hermaphrodites and pollinator visitation rates to manipulated hermaphrodites, no significant interactions between sexes and treatments were found. What was found, unexpectedly, was a correlation between floral display number per stalk and pollinator visitation suggesting that perhaps pollinators are indifferent between females and hermaphrodites.
