Floral Longevity and Nectar Secretion of Platanthera chlorantha (Custer) Rchb. (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2003 Flowering and nectar secretion were studied in Platanthera chlorantha in two years. Nectar was secreted and accumulated in this orchid's spur, originating from part of the labellum. The nectary spur was, on average, 32 mm long. It produced 6.86 micro l nectar in 1999 and 7.84 micro l in 2000.

Implications of geitonogamous pollination for floral longevity in Iris gracilipes [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2001 Summary We analysed the longevity of individual flowers with respect to the effects of the floral display size of a plant (number of flowers open at one time) and spatial arrangement of flowers in Iris gracilipes (A. Gray). We found that the actual floral longevity of this species (about 2 days) was much shorter than that predicted by the model of ...
