Synopsis Light became the limiting factor for flowering in 3 Paspalum species at 60° and 55° F. temperatures. P. dilatatum , P. malacophyllum , and P. urvillei began blooming within the same 2‐hour period at these temperatures. These temperatures increased the time anthers remained pendent without dehiscing and enabled emasculation.
