Abstract
Discovery of a large population of Goodyera oblongifolia Raf. prompted this investigation. Since some northern temperate orchids are known to have replaced or supplemented allogamy (cross-pollination) with autogamy (self-pollination) and asexual reproduction, the question arose as to what adaptations contributed to the success of the study population. Interrelations of vegetative propagation, self-compatibility, seed fertility, flower aggregation, nectar production, capsule development, pollination mechanisms, and pollinator distributions are considered.
