- Title
SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF ENDYMION NONSCRIPTUS (L.) GARCKE IN WARWICKSHIRE WOODS.
- Authors
Knight, G. H.
- Abstract
The article presents an account of observations made on the ecology of Endymion nonscriptus in woods in central Warwickshire, England where some very luxuriant societies are to be found. It notes the factors that might restrict Endymion nonscriptus to woodland habitats, namely, poor dispersal, lack of seed dormancy and of conditions suitable for germination and subsequent development of the seedling. The specie's flower production was earlier in the southern and western margins of woods and beneath trees. The only serious competitor of the specie is the Mercurialis perennis. Bombus is the most important pollinators of Endymion nonscriptus.
