I observed the sun-tracking behavior, temperature increment within flowers, and seed production of mountain avens, Dry us oclopclala L , occurring near Bragger glacier in Ny-Alesund (78°55'N, 11°56'E), Svalbard in Norway. The flowers showed sun-tracking movement on sunny days, but the movement was mostly found around noon and was not so active throughout a sunny day. The temperature increment of the gynoecmm in flowers facing the sun was ca 2℃ higher than in flowers with their back to the sun Petal removal resulted in considerable reduction of the gynoecmm temperature Insects (mostly mosquitoes) visiting flowers were very infrequent, suggesting that a severe pollinator limitation restricted the crosspollination. During the experiments, flowers of Dryas octopetala did not produce any developed seeds under natural condition (0% seed-set) Cross-pollinated flowers showed 8% seed-set, while flowers which were artificially warmed by small green-houses during the flowering period showed 60% seed-set, indicating that the reproduction of D octopetala is strongly restricted by low temperature during the flowering period, rather than by pollinator limitation, in the population of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard These results suggest that the sun-tracking behavior and parabola-shaped flower structure with large petals are important for seed-setting success by increasing the gynoecmm temperature.
