Pollination Biology of Lapeirousia subgenus Lapeirousia (Iridaceae) in southern Africa; floral divergence and adaptation for long-tongued fly-pollination
Abstract | Materials and Methods | Results | Discussion | Literature
Table 2. Analyses of pollen loads carried by insects
collected on Lapeirousia species. Prosoeca = Pr.;
Tetraloniella = T.; Megistorhynchus = M.;
Philoliche = Ph; Parafidelia = Pa;
Anthophora = A.; Heliotis = H. Pollen
types abbreviated as follows: Ac = Acacia; An = Anthericaceae;
Co = Asteraceae; Gr = Grielum; He = Hermannia; La
= Lapeirousia; Op = orchid pollinium; Pa = papilionoid
legume (?Wiborgia); Pe = Pelargonium; Po = Polygala;
Sc = Scrophulariaceae; Wa = mixed campanulales (?Wahlenbergia,
Prismatocarpus); Ud = unidentified dicot; Um = unidentified
monocot. Figures in parentheses after insect names indicate number of individuals. Figures in columns 3-16 are the numbers of insects bearing a particular pollen type.
