New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2266-2283, August 2026.Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Where is the reward? Floral nectaries in Aspidosperma australe flowers [PDF]
RodriguésiaNectaries are secretory structures that produce a solution rich in sugars, which are involved in animal-plant interactions. Such secretory structures can be externally distinguishable (recognizable), as in glands or discs, or not, as in some gynoecial ...

Rapid disruption of pollination function by the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1481-1490, August 2026.Invasion by Impatiens glandulifera rapidly disrupts pollination of the native plant Stachys sylvatica by altering pollen transport by shared bumblebee pollinators. A short‐term field introduction revealed a dramatic decline in conspecific pollen deposition within 4 days, showing that pollination function can collapse quickly following invasion, even ...

MORPHOLOGY OF THE NECTARY IN PROTEACEAE [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1967 SummaryA comprehensive study of the comparative morphology, anatomy and histology of the nectary in all genera of the Proteaceae was made and the trends in its evolution are discussed. The nectaries in some abnormal flowers of Hakea laurina and Buckinghamia celsissima are also described.

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1454-1466, August 2026.Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Are stem nectaries common in Gentianaceae Juss.?
Acta Botânica BrasílicaExtrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are specialized structures that produce and release nectar and are located on leaves, cotyledons and, more seldomly, stems.
