[en] The reproductive biology of Fagonia indica Burm. f. (Zygophyllaceae) reveals that it is a facultative autogamous taxon i.e. predominantly self-fertilized but also gets benefit by crossing as normal seed set was observed in both selfing and crossing. Values of pollen ovule ratio did not show the positive correlation with breeding system. Opening and closing timings of flower govern by temperature and light intensity. An initiated bud required about 19-21 days to convert into a mature fruit. The flower simultaneously serve as primary as well as secondary attractant as it offers nectar, floral odor, waxes and glowing colour, due to which a variety of insects regularly visited the flower.
