Nectary Structure and Ultrastructure of Unisexual Flowers of Ecballium elaterium(L.) A. Rich. (Cucurbitaceae) and their Presumptive Pollinators [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2001 The structure and ultrastructure of the nectaries of the monoecious species Ecballium elaterium were studied. Large differences in size and structure of the nectaries were observed in the two genders of flowers, those of the staminate flowers being much larger and more developed than those of the pistillate flowers. The latter do not secrete measurable
