Replication data for: Reproductive biology and characterization of Allanblackia parviflora A. Chev. in Ghana

Allanblackia parviflora A. Chev. (Clusiaceae Lindley) is an indigenous tree species which is found in the rain forest regions of Ghana. It is a potential candidate fruit tree species being introduced in agroforestry systems. Information on genetic diversity, reproductive biology and fruit yield are not known. Field expeditions to seven populations of Allanblackia parviflora in Ghana were undertaken in 2003 to 2006 during which fruits were collected from 109 trees for characterization. The species was found to be dioecious. The colour of flowers varied from whitish to reddish. No ecological differences in number of fruits per tree, fruit shape and seed health were observed. However, large variations in fruit size and shape were observed among individual trees sampled

细花阿兰黑榄（Allanblackia parviflora A. Chev.）隶属于藤黄科（Clusiaceae Lindley），是加纳雨林地区的本土乔木树种，同时也是当前正被引入农林业系统的潜在候选果树。目前学界对其遗传多样性、生殖生物学特性以及果实产量的相关信息仍较为匮乏。2003年至2006年间，研究团队针对加纳境内的7个细花阿兰黑榄种群开展野外考察，期间从109株样树上采集果实以进行性状表征。经调查发现，该树种为雌雄异株植物；其花色介于乳白色至红褐色之间；各采样种群在单株挂果量、果实形态及种子健康度方面未表现出显著生态差异，但在所采样的单株个体间，果实大小与形状存在显著的个体间变异。
