In response to unfavorable environmental conditions, someDroseraspecies in the northern hemisphere do not open their flowers but form bud‐like flowers. The bud‐like flowers exhibit pseudo‐cleistogamous behavior and produce similar numbers of seeds as open flowers. However, it is not clear how common this type of reproduction is in the genusDrosera. In this study, we examined the effects of flowering (opening flowers/forming bud‐like flowers) and pollinator visitation on seed production inDrosera makinoiandD. toyoakensis, two endemic species in Japan.D. makinoiandD. toyoakensisplants did not open 20%–40% chasmogamous flowers to form bud‐like flowers. The numbers of mature seeds produced by bud‐like flowers were significantly lower than those produced by open flowers (0%–2% of open flowers). InD. makinoi, the percentage of bud‐like flowers correlated negatively with the seed production per plant, suggesting that the production of bud‐like flowers decreased the lifetime reproductive success. In bothD. makinoiandD. toyoakensis, pollinator‐excluded flowers produced similar numbers of seeds as control flowers. Our results suggest that pseudo‐cleistogamy does not occur inD. makinoiandD. toyoakensis, and they produce seeds without pollinator visits once flowers open.
