    Thanks, Jürgen,
    I think one mistake I made was, not to export the xfig figure as
    combined PDF/LaTeX (both parts), which I now did. In the
    Lyx:Graphics window I clicked Scale graphics (%) and changed the
    output size from 50 over various smaller sizes down to 1 (%).
    However, the figure pdf output does not change and is far to large.
    This is the output I see on the terminal:

    figure \ref{fig:recording of petal movement},

    figure \ref{fig:recording of movement of single flowers}).

    \begin{figure}

    \begin{centering}

    
\input{Schrempf-Fig02.pdftex_t}\includegraphics[clip,scale=0.01]{Schrempf-Fig02}

    \par\end{centering}

    \caption[Recording of petal movement]{\label{fig:recording of
    petal movement}Recording of petal movement

    using a cuvette, schematic (after \citet{Engelmann1973}). Details

    in text.}

    \end{figure}

    May be I did not quite grasp what you ment.

You don't need to export the xfig figure to PDF. Just use the external template (Insert > File > External Material). This should work. If it doesn't, please send a MWE.

Here is a MWE. How can I scale it down in the pdf export?
