stem grows up the more flowers can develop on it. This relation is supported by the value of significant high correlation between the length of the inflorescences and the number of flowers. The stem height, in itself, does not influence the pollination; even if the stem is higher, the plant will not produce more seedpods. Although there is significant correlation between the number of flowers and the number of fruits (seedpods), but the value of correlation coefficient is very low referring to a slight relationship (Table 2).

Table 2: Relationships between reproductive traits (the correlation coefficients with asterisk are significant at p<0.05; the italic number refers to the mean value per individual; the length of inflorescence was measured from 1998 to 2008, others from 1992 to 2008)
