Abstract: Floral traits (corolla length, corolla shape, anther-stigma distance, and corolla color) of sympatric alpine shrubs, Phyllodoce caerulea and Phyllodoce aleutica, were compared among three populations having different snowmelt timing selected along snowmelt gradients (i.e., early-, middle-, and late-snowmelt population) at three snowbeds in the Taisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. The corolla of P. caerulea was longer and more oblong than that of P. aleutica. The anther-stigma distance of P. caerulea was longer than that of P. aleutica. These morphological differences suggest that flowers of P. caerulea are more suitable for outcrossing than those of P. aleutica. The anther-stigma distance of P. aleutica tended to increase in the la...
