Geographic Distribution: Peru, Department Arequipa. Flowering in January & February in the Andes, and in the lomas habitat flowering in October.

Morphology

Pollen production per flower, ovules per ovary, and the Ratio of Pollen to Ovules. In the following table each row represents one flower taken from a greenhouse-grown plant.

Pollen counts in the table were done by Demir Camdzic while ovule counts were done by T. M. (year 2017).
Two additional pollen counts are probably less accurate because each count was done with a single anther (multiplied by 5); these were done in 2013 by Emmett P. Varricchio and gave 407,500 - 561,500 grains (n = 2, Mione et al. 797). Ovules per ovary was estimated by doubling the count of one locule. Ovaries were dissected in 70% ethanol so that ovules would float away, a few at a time,when dislodged with a needle. Pollen production was estimated using Anderson and Symon's modification of Lloyd's technique.

Figure 15. Flower of J. quipuscoae showing corona at X (see right side); the corona is a bowl of tissue on which nectar pools. Only three Jaltomata species have this structure, photo by Thomas Mione, March 2012, flower preserved in 70% ethanol prior to photo.

Figure 16. J. quipuscoae. Corona in focus at X. The corona is the bowl of tissue on which nectar pools characteristic of only three Jaltomata species. Distance between two vertical lines in foreground is one mm, Mione et al. 797; flower preserved in 70% ethanol prior to photo.

Figure 17. Fruit crushed to reveal seeds. This fruit was probably not fully ripe given that the seeds are so light in color. Seeds from ripe fruit are brown.

Number of weeks from manual pollination (in greenhouse) to ripe fruit: 14 September 2017 to 25 October 2017, one day short of 6 weeks but recorded as six weeks because the fruit had not dropped and I very easily could have harvested it the next day.
