Functions of heteranthery and enantiostyly for wing pollination by pollen-collecting bees in <i>Dilatris ixioides</i> (Haemodoraceae)
The absence of nectar production and development of a large central pollen-rewarding anther in combination with laterally deflected anthers and styles in D. ixioides are functional components of an effective and novel system of wing pollination by female bees.
