The same analysis excluding the first inflorescence in each sample is also shown.
For each sample, the second row summarizes results of the Games–Howell tests but only significant differences between inflorescences are presented.
The number of inflorescences (sample size) used in this analysis is shown in Table 2.
*P < 0·01; **P < 0·001; ***P < 0·0001.
