The only seeds I've ever gotten from my petiolaris-complex species
were the result of cross-pollinization with other plants of the same
species or other species. Attempts of self-pollinization have never worked
for me.

P.S. Ibicella in BRAZIL?!?!?! If anyone has any reference as to where it
grows in Brazil, please tell me!! I've never seen the fruits of these
plants, but by their description, I'm sure I've studied them in a botany
course at university.
