Nectary structure of Ornithidium sophronitis Rchb.F. (Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Most orchids do not produce floral food-rewards. Instead, they attract pollinators by mimicry or deceit. When present, the most common floral food-reward is nectar.

Comparative Nectary Morphology across Cleomaceae (Brassicales)
Plants, 2023 Floral nectaries have evolved multiple times and rapidly diversified with the adaptive radiation of animal pollinators. As such, floral nectaries exhibit extraordinary variation in location, size, shape, and secretory mechanism. Despite the intricate ties to pollinator interactions, floral nectaries are often overlooked in morphological and ...

Invisible floral larcenies: microbial communities degrade floral nectar of bumble bee-pollinated plants [PDF]
, 1998 8 páginas, 4 figuras, 1 láminaThe ecology of nectarivorous microbial communities remains virtually unknown, which precludes elucidating whether these organisms play some role in plant–pollinator mutualisms beyond minor commensalism.

Morphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) floral nectaries
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The studies focused on the morphological and anatomical features as well as those related to the ultrastructure of nectary cells Achillea millefolium Asteraceae family. The nectary presence was confirmed only in the disk flowers at the pistil style base.

Ontogeny of the extrafloral nectaries of Vigna adenantha (Leguminosae, Phaseolae) and its relation with floral development [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The inflorescences of the genus Vigna Savi have extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) among the flowers whose origin is still unknown. The disposition, anatomy and morphology, as well as the ontogeny of the extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) associated with

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Names in the genus Pinguicula established for taxa from the Baltic and Nordic countries, including their oversea territories and Iceland, were analyzed to provide nomenclatural and taxonomic clarity. Of the 33 names retrieved from the literature and online databases, one is illegitimate, two are invalid and 16 were found to require typification.

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)
