Stefan Vogel's analysis of floral syndromes in the South African flora: An appraisal based on 60 years of pollination studies

2017-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The concept of floral syndromes has been controversial since it was first proposed by Delpino in the nineteenth century. Some have derided the concept for being typological and inconsistent with the generalized nature of many pollination systems. However, others have lauded it for providing a testable framework for the study of convergent evolution in plants showing specialization to particular functional groups o...
