Review of pollen-pistil interactions and their relevance to the reproductive biology of Acacia

Some of the published work on the reproductive biology of acacias is reviewed. The material selected refers to a few members of each of the three subgenera: Acacia, Aculieferum and Phyllodineae. Particular reference is made to anatomy, floral development and pollen-stigma interactions. Factors relevant to reproduction, including pollinators, self-incompatibility and fruit set are discussed.
