Series experiments were carried out at Giza. research station farm, Agricultural Research Center, through four growing seasons (2008/09 to 2011/2012). The berseem genOtypes utilized in the study belong to the Miskawi (multi-cut, Sakha-4 variety) and Fahl (mono-cut variety), were reciprocally hybridization manual in both directions. Various phonological stages were identified observations of inflorescences to study the morphology of flowering. Comparison between floret parts of Fahl and Miskawi varieties had showing differences in the way of stick petals on the stamenal tube, also gives equal opportunity to both modes of pollination either open (OP) by honey bees, air, or,self through the same sources in Fahl plants. In the Miskawi variety keel petal, as well as a standard petal, which closed lock on the, staminal tube, over blooming stages, allowing greater opportunity for (OP), where the pressure on the staminal tube hinder dispersal pollen grain to the highest and the occurrence of self-pollinated. Data recorded variation in stamens tall of Miskawi variety with similar taller stamens of Fahl. This study may be explaining the high self-setting seeds in Fahl variety.
