Effect of germination season/watering regime on phenology, survival, morphology and silique and seed production of plants in Diptychocarpus strictus (mean ±1 s.e.).

AW, autumn-germinating plants watered; SW, spring-germinating plants watered; SNW, spring plants not-watered. S′, number of plants that survived to four-leaf rosette stage during treatment; N, total number of germinated seedlings; R, number of surviving four-leaf rosette plants that reproduced during treatment; H, plant height at maturity; l, life period. Different lowercase letters (a, b, c) indicate significant differences (Tukey's HSD, P = 0.05).Note: Dates for emergence, flowering and fruiting are number of days (d) since sowing. Flowering interval, interval from blooming of first flower to withering of last flower; post-germination life span, interval from emergence to death.
