Abstract The pattern of gene flow has a major influence on the spatial scale of evolutionary processes. In plant populations pollen carryover will influence the pattern of gene flow. InRanunculus bulbosus L. pollen carryover was found to occur over a maximum of 5 flowers, with seed set per flower decreasing in a curvilinear fashion with increasing visit number in a sequence of visits by a bee after pollen pick-up from a donor plant. The effect of pollen carryover is to increase both neighbourhood area and neighbourhood size by two-fold.
