Aeginetia indica is a parasitic plant on Miscanthus sinensis. Through interval photography and direct observation, we identified Ceratina flavipes as its sole pollinator, which nests inside the stem of M. sinensis. This pollination system, which involves a mutual relationship between a parasitic plant and an insect inhabiting the same host plant, has ...
