Los Amigos Jungle Cucumbers - Figure 5
Figure 1 |
Gurania is an exciting genus to study,
because many interesting animals rely upon these plants for
food. The flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds and
Heliconius butterflies. Hummingbirds seek
out the sweet nectar while butterflies are interested in the
nutritious pollen. The fruits are eaten by bats, and this is how
the seeds are dispersed.
