Mean sugar masses of sucrose, glucose and fructose recovered from E. leucoxylon ssp. leucoxylon flowers, using three durations of soaking in distilled water. The 1-min treatment was agitated for 1 min; the 20-min treatment was agitated for 1 min and soaked for 19 min; and the 60-min treatment was agitated for 1 min and soaked for 59 min. The error bars show the s.e. for each sugar; n = 5 for each treatment. Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments for each sugar considered separately.
