Abstract
Abstract Some aspects of the pollination ecology of a wild leek (Allium tricoccum Ait.) population were studied in Gatineau Park, Southern Québec, Canada. Self‐compatibility was determined by a pollinator exclusion experiment. Pollinator limitation of seed production was tested by comparing naturally pollinated plants with hand cross‐pollinated plants. The insects observed on the umbels were collected for identification. Wild leek was found to be self‐compatible. Seed production does not seem to be limited by pollinator activity. An important year to year variability of pollinator activity was observed according to the flowering intensity within the population.
