    • Indeed, shading the leaves reduces photosynthesis and carbohydrate supply to the developing inflorescences, causing flower abscission and lower yields.
    • Pistillate flowers are initiated on the lower portion of the inflorescence and staminate flowers are initiated on the distal portion.
    • Flowers are generally borne solitarily in leaf axils or in inflorescences subtended by bracts, but some taxa are ebractate.
