[Wikipedia] Pollination, Seed Dispersal: Lasthenia conjugens relies upon insect pollination for fertilization, and dispersal of seed is largely by gravity. In undisturbed habitats, this and other species of Lasthenia are pollinated by specialist bee species, primarily in the genus Andrena. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
