The effect of location and season on the number of fruits occupying the distal, medial and proximal thirds ofG. beadleana infructescences*

Location, season (n) Distal Medial Proximal Total fruit on fertile rachis (range)
EB 1995–96 (24, 120) 1·1 ± 0·1  0·9 ± 0·1  1·9 ± 0·1 4·0 ± 0·2A (1–13)
EB 1996–97 (16, 80) 0·9 ± 0·1  0·8 ± 0·1  1·6 ± 0·2 3·4 ± 0·2B (1–14)
GFRNP 1995–96 (29, 137)  0·6 ± 0·08 0·9 ± 0·1  1·9 ± 0·1 3·7 ± 0·1B (1–11)
Combined (69, 337)  0·8 ± 0·06b  0·9 ± 0·08b 1·8 ± 0·1a

* Each value is the mean ± standard error.     Numbers in parentheses under Location, season indicate plant number and number of infructescences scored, respectively.     EB, Eastern Binghi; GFRNP, Guy Fawkes River National Park.     Values followed by different superscript letters differ significantly at P < 0·05.
