Cantua dendritica (Polemoniaceae), a New Species from Peru, and Two New Cantua Names [PDF]
, 2008 Cantua dendritica is described as new. This species is apparently restricted to the region around Paucartambo, Department of Cusco, Peru. Related to, and frequently identified as, Cantua flexuosa, this new species differs in its glandular calyx, highly ...

Taxonomic insights into Indian Rotala (Lythraceae) species with verticillate phyllotaxy
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.In an effort to resolve taxonomic complexities among Indian Rotala species with verticillate phyllotaxy, this study provides an identification key, revised nomenclature, updated morphological descriptions including SEM studies of seed coat surfaces, detailed photoplates, and notes on phenology, ecology, and distribution.

BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself,

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our findings demonstrate that providing sugar sources reliably supports parasitoid populations and parasitism rate but does not systematically translate into improved pest suppression or yield gains. These results suggest that, for economic and practical reasons, sugar inputs at the edge of cultivated fields should be favoured.

Diversity and evolution of a trait mediating ant-plant interactions: insights from extrafloral nectaries in Senna (Leguminosae) [PDF]
, 2017 Background and Aims Plants display a wide range of traits that allow them to use animals for vital tasks. To attract and reward aggressive ants that protect developing leaves and flowers from consumers, many plants bear extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). EFNs

Osmophores and floral fragrance in Anacardium humile and Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae): an overlooked secretory structure in Sapindales [PDF]
, 2018 Background and aims: Flowers of Anacardiaceae and other Sapindales typically produce nectar, but scent, often associated with a reward for pollinators, has surprisingly been mentioned only rarely for members of the family and order.

Nectary Specification in Petunia and Arabidopsis [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2018 Studies of flower development have lots of information about petals, carpels, and stamens, but let’s not forget the birds and the bees—and the flies and moths—and what draws pollinators to insect-pollinated flowers, including flower color, shape, and rewards that provide energy. For example,

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 Nectaries of investigated species of Vicia were ranked into 3 morphological types: automorphic (V. sepium L.), transitoric (V. angustifolia L., V. sativa L., V. villosa Roth, V. cracca L.) and flat, epimorphic (V. hirsuta (L.) S. F.
