Interspecific and Intersexual Differences in the Chemical Composition of Floral Scent in Glochidion Species (Phyllanthaceae) in South China by Daihong Huang, Fuchen Shi, Minwei Chai, Ruili Li, Houhun Li

“…Plants of the Glochidion (Phyllanthaceae) genus are pollinated exclusively by host-specific Epicephala (Gracillariidae) moths. Floral scent has been thought to play key role in the obligate pollination mutualism between Glochidion plants and Epicephala moths, but few studies have been reported about chemical variation in floral volatiles of Glochidion species in China. …”
