Ornithophily in the Rhamnaceae: The pollination of the Chilean endemic Colletia ulicina
Flora - Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2005 Abstract Colletia ulicina , an endemic species from the central region of Chile, displays red, tubular, scented, nectariferous flowers at the tip of its branches. Observations at two sites during two consecutive years indicate that the hummingbird Sephanoides sephaniodes (Trochilidae) visits the flowers on a regular basis.

THE POLLINATION OF MARCGRAVIA: A CLASSICAL CASE OF ORNITHOPHILY?
American Journal of Botany, 1922 Since the publication of Darwin's investigations upon the pollination of orchids, many biologists have tended to assume that flowers which are visited by insects and birds are pollinated by these animals, and that aberrant types of floral organization are adaptations to insure cross-pollination.

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, June 2025.ABSTRACT Bird pollination remains understudied in Madagascar. We document the first recorded observation of common sunbird‐asity Neodrepanis coruscans (Philepittidae), a Malagasy endemic which is not a true sunbird, visiting and potentially pollinating Bakerella clavata, a plant with long tubular flowers.
