but the flowers of E. inderiensis provide the nectar to the pollinators as rewards. The volume of nectar accumulated constantly during the flowering course, and related with the length of a flower visit. To the E. inderiensis, E. anisopterus was visited by rare pollinators , but pollinated in high efficiency. E. anisopterus has wet stigma and the pollen presentation and stigma presentation occurred at the same time. This species is self-compatible and the pollen could be autonomously transferred to the stigma within flowers. High fruit set by hand cross pollination showed E. anisopterus had the mixed mating system. E. inderiensis has a special type of ‘wet’ stigma, where a secretion accumulates under the cuticle. When the cuticle rupture, the secretion was released and the stigma acquired the receptivity. This species has the outcrossing mating-system and the fertilization depend on the insect pollination. Synchronous pollen presentation of E. anisopterus should be a strategy to insure reproductive success under the early spring in desert where the pollinators are unreliable and efficient at delivering the pollen they remove. The gradual pollen presentation of E. inderiensis should be related with the abundant pollinator and inefficient at delivering the pollen they remove. The results supported PPT (Pollen presentation theory). There were two kinds of individual plants in population of E. anisopterus, individual plants had both female and hermaphrodite flowers and individual plants only hermaphrodite flowers. Gynomonoecy sexual system in E. anisopterus was size-dependent, and the number of female flowers in an individual plant was positive correlate with number of leaves, dry weights of leaves, length inflorescence, and total flowers in an inflorescence. The female flowers located at the base, bloomed earliest in an inflorescence and were significant bigger than hermaphrodite flowers. There was non significant difference on the fruit-set percentage between female
