Proterogynous or Protogynous, the stigmas first to mature, 116.

Such blooming is termed protogynous.

Mr. Reed listed as protandrous Busseron, Kentucky, Major, and Niblack varieties, whereas Butterick, Indiana, and Posey were protogynous.

"With Butterick ... the order was reversed, as the period of receptivity began first," and it was classified, therefore, as regularly protogynous.

On the other hand, the slender filaments, versatile anthers, powdery pollen, and elongated protogynous style are features of other species indicating anemophily; while the presence of a degraded corolla shows its ancestors to have been entomophilous.
