Abstract
Heliotropium curassavicum L., of the family Boraginaceae is the only glabrous species from Pakistan. The species exhibits autogamous mode of reproduction while, the value of pollen–ovule ratio indicates the mixed pattern of pollination i.e., facultative xenogamy. A variety of insects frequently visit the flower as it simultaneously offers food and visual as well as olfactory attractions thus the plant enjoys both, direct as well as insect mediated selfing
