WHAT DOES CHASMOGAMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chasmogamy

Chasmogamy

Chasmogamy is a botanical term describing a type of flower. A chasmogamous flower opens at maturity, exposing stamens and style to allow fertilization. The style receives pollen from another individual. Chasmogamous flowers also provide pollen to other plants. This is the opposite of cleistogamy, in which a plant produces flowers that stay closed and fertilize themselves. A cleistogamous flower is usually smaller and requires less energy to produce. It is also structured to bring its reproductive organs into contact, making it more likely that fertilization will be successful. Fertilization in a chasmogamous flower depends on the receipt of appropriate pollen, and often fails. Chasmogamous flowers are structured to maximize the receipt of pollen; they are generally larger and showier with markings such as nectar guides to facilitate the entrance of pollinators such as insects. They produce nectar, the reward sought by pollinating organisms, and are sometimes scented to attract them. The petals of a chasmogamous flower can be attractive to pollinators; cleistogamous flowers often lack petals.
