THREE TYPES OF POLLINATOR REWARD
-
Homomorphic pollen, i.e., that collected
by pollinator is the same as that effecting fertilization. Found only
in actinomorphic flowers (example: Gustavia augusta)
-
Heteromorphic pollen, i.e., fodder
pollen is different from that effecting fertilization. Found only
in zygomorphic flowers (example: Lecythis pisonis)
-
Nectar. Found only in zygomorphic
flowers (example: (Eschweilera pedicellata)
The following slides give examples of
these pollination systems
