Stamens enclosed by petals in Berchemia (Rhamnaceae): a unique mechanism for pollen presentation by Fang Ma, Fang Ma, Qian Zhao, Xing Tian, Yao-lei Fu, Wen-zhe Liu

“…Subsequently, as the anthers emerge from the petal tube, residual pollen is directly presented to pollinators (primary pollen presentation).DiscussionIn Berchemia, the petals enclosing the stamens, effectively shield the pollen from extreme environmental conditions. The petal-stamen complex slow movement (first centrifugal, later centripetal) and pollen presentation in Berchemia suggest a unique reproductive strategy. …”
