The pollination biology and breeding system of Couepia uiti was studied. In this species, flowers opened at 06:00 AM anthesis, and nectar production began at around 0800 h, reached a maximum volume from 09:30 AM to 10:30 AM, and decreased thereafter. The nectar sugar concentration increased continuously, but showed an abrupt increase from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM. Pollen release occurred at about 09:30 AM and was quickly collected. The stigmas became receptive at around 12:00 AM. The pollinators of C. uiti included the bees Apis mellifera, Xylocopa sp. and Bombus sp., and three species of wasps. This conclusion was based on the observation that these hymenopterans had C. uiti pollen on their bodies, visited the receptive flowers, and touched the anthers and stigmas, thereby promoting pollination. Of these floral visitors, A. mellifera was considered to be the most efficient pollinator. However, mixed pollination also occurred. The number of C. uiti flowers visited in the morning (n = 52) was three times smaller than in the afternoon (n = 62), and the species richness of floral visitors was also bigger in the afternoon (eight in the afternoon versus five in the morning). This finding indicated that these floral visitors preferred to exploit nectar rather than pollen. Controlled pollination experiments showed that C. uiti was a self-incompatible species that produced fruits only by cross-pollination. Treatments such as agamospermy and spontaneous and self-pollinations did not produce fruits. (+info)Specific, non-nutritional association between an ascomycete fungus and Allomerus plant-ants. (3/4)

(+info)Chrysobalanaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes trees and shrubs. It is primarily found in tropical regions, particularly in the Americas and Africa. The family contains around 16 genera and about 450 species, including the well-known genus Parinari, which contains several economically important timber trees.
The plants in Chrysobalanaceae are characterized by their simple, alternate leaves and small, white or cream-colored flowers that are typically arranged in clusters. The fruits of these plants are often drupes, which are fleshy and contain a single seed. Some of the fruits are edible and have been used as food sources by local populations.
In medical contexts, Chrysobalanaceae may be mentioned in relation to the use of its bark or leaves in traditional medicine. For example, some species of Chrysobalanaceae have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including diarrhea, fever, and skin diseases. However, it is important to note that the safety and efficacy of these remedies have not been thoroughly studied and should be approached with caution.
