Pterandra pyroidea: a case of pollination shift within neotropical Malpighiaceae.

Annals of botany - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Most Neotropical species of Malpighiaceae produce floral fatty oils in calyx glands to attract pollinating oil-collecting bees, which depend on this resource for reproduction. This specialized type of pollination system tends to be lost in members of the family that occur outside the geographic distribution (e.g. Africa) of Neotropical oil-collecting bees. This study focused on the...
