Notes on the pollination ecology of the palm genus <i>Johannesteijsmannia</i> (Arecaceae)
The floral biology and flower visitors of the tropical palms Johannesteijsmannia altifrons, J. magnifica and J. perakensis were investigated. We combined the data from this study with published data of J. lanceolata to give an overview of the reproductive biology and pollination system of the genus....
