Cover illustration: Flower of Ceiba chodatii (Hassl.) Ravenna (Bombacaceae) a species found in western Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. Selfed flowers do not form fruits, although self pollen tubes successfully penetrate the ovules and effect fertilization. Mixed self:cross pollinations, however, allow for some self-seed formation. See Gibbs et al. (pp. 305-310).
