Lycium exsertum is flowering again locally, giving an opportunity to observe pin and thrum heteromorphy. The same condition can also be seen in L. fremontii flowers.

Steve, Help me to better understand this concept ….
Did you follow through to the link? https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/stevejones/62034-pin-and-thrum-heteromorphy-in-lycium-exsertum
It's explained there. If you still have any questions, let me know.
Here's a short article about it that postulates that pin-and-thrum conditions promote cross-pollination. Seems feasible.

The plant scientist link helped me a bit more. Thank you.
