Nematomorphs are dioecious, they reproduce with true copulation or pseudocopulation. |
Here we describe a new case of pollination by genitalic pseudocopulation in orchids, this time in the genus Lepanthes. |
All previous reports of orchid pollination through pseudocopulation involve solitary wasps or bees. |
The phenomenon of flowers pollinated by pseudocopulation has been very well documented for Afro-European and Australian terrestrial orchids. |
