Table 1. Results of one-way ANOVAs showing effect of phylogeny, life form, seed size, dispersal mode, onset of flowering, duration of flowering, temperature and habitat on final germination percentage (GP) and mean germination time (GT) among 134 species, R² is the proportion of variance explained by each factor.
