Summary of the npMANOVA for the odour compounds of seven flowers sampled at the five floral stages. d.f. = degrees of freedom.

*Although only five floral stages occurred, floral scents were sampled twice at both the pistillate and staminate stages and once at the pre-pistillate, pre-staminate and post-staminate stages. Thus, the factor “stage” had a d.f. of 6 (i.e. 7–1). A. Analysis performed on the three dominant compounds from the blends. B. Analysis performed on all compounds accounting for more than >1% of the blend.
