Trumpet heath flowers appear to be adapted for pollination by long-proboscid flies. However, despite being only faintly fragrant, they are actually pollinated by moths, including hawkmoths, which use their long tongues to access nectar. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/phytok…

Erica species pollinated by sunbirds and long-proboscid flies have higher pollen transfer efficiency compared to bee-pollinated species, according to this study from South Africa. 🇿🇦 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/phytok… #Ericaceae #pollinators
