Reproductive biology and nectar secretion dynamics of Penstemon gentianoides (Plantaginaceae): a perennial herb with a mixed pollination system? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background In many plant species, pollination syndromes predict the most effective pollinator. However, other floral visitors may also offer effective pollination services and promote mixed pollination systems.

Are the floral morphology and anatomy of Galphimia australis, an atypical neotropical Malpighiaceae, associated to a new pollination syndrome? [PDF]
, 2022 The flowers of the species of Malpighiaceae in the Neotropical Region are relatively uniform in their morphology due to their dependence on oil-collecting bees as their main pollinators.

Nectar, Floral Morphology and Pollination Syndrome in Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae (Cornales) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2006 Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae are mostly distributed in South America (sea level to over 4500 m) with a wide range of animals documented as pollinators. The aim was to investigate correlations between nectar parameters, flower morphology, pollination syndrome and phylogeny.Nectar was collected from 29 species from seven genera in the subfamily ...

Madagasikaria (Malpighiaceae): A New Genus from Madagascar with Implications for Floral Evolution in Malpighiaceae [PDF]
, 2002 Madagasikaria andersonii is described here as a new genus and species of Malpighiaceae from Madagascar. The phylogenetic placement of Madagasikaria was estimated by using combined data from ndhF and trnL-F chloroplast sequences and phytochrome (PHYC) and

Floral trait QTLs, grouped by trait.
, 2023 In the formation of species, adaptation by natural selection generates distinct combinations of traits that function well together. The maintenance of adaptive trait combinations in the face of gene flow depends on the strength and nature of selection ...

Evolution of the Selfing Syndrome in Arabis alpina (Brassicaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The transition from cross-fertilisation (outcrossing) to self-fertilisation (selfing) frequently coincides with changes towards a floral morphology that optimises self-pollination, the selfing syndrome.

Impatiens smetsiana, another example of convergent evolution of flower morphology in Impatiens [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background and aims – The genus Impatiens is known for its enormous convergent phenotypic adaptation, with similar floral traits having independently evolved in distantly related lineages.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Central American and Mexican Pinguicula species are characterized by enormous divergence in size and color of flowers and are pollinated by butterflies, flies, bees, and hummingbirds. It is known that floral trichomes are key characters in plant–pollinator interaction.
