Temporal dioecism, melittophily and anemochory of Wendlandia glabrata (Rubiaceae)
TAPROBANICA: The Journal of Asian Biodiversity, 2013 Wendlandia glabrata is a massive bloomer during February–March. Floral characteristics such as diurnal anthesis, white coloured, odorless, tubular flowers with deep seated sucrose-rich nectar conform to psychophily. Nectar is a source of essential and non-essential amino acids for butterflies, inconsistent foragers due to nectar traces in open flowers.
