The east Asiatic genus Platycarya is particularly interesting because numerous characters are thought to be associated with the transition from anemophily to entomophily.
Several pollination syndromes have been suggested to occur within the genus, including anemophily, epihydrophily, and hypohydrophily.
Some authors recognize anemophily as the principal pollination system for this family, while others indicate entomophily.
