Floral biology of Philippine morphospecies of the grape relative <i>Leea</i> (Leeaceae)

JEANMAIRE MOLINA · Plant Species Biology · 2009

Abstract I observed the floral biology of three Leea morphospecies in a Philippine natural forest habitat. The red‐flowered morphospecies Leea guineensis limits selfing through synchronized dichogamy, with male and female flowers temporally separated in the same inflorescence, whereas the two morphospecies of the white‐flowered Leea indica might be prone to geitonogamous selfing. Light and soil pH are correlated with phenology. In addition to bees and flies, Leea is visited by wasps, butterflies, beetles, bugs and spiders.
