説明
The floral biology ofErythronium japonicum has been studied from two approaches: a reinvestigation of its floral morphology and a pollinator case history. The perianth, differentiated into a sepal and petal cycle, has a tubular, but free arrangement basally around a slightly stipitate ovary. The two cycles of stamens with dimorphic filaments are positioned by the differently lobed auricles of the mature sepals and petals. These auricles also form a trap-lid mechanism for the inverted nectary which also has passageways. The perianth parts are highly UV absorbant due to the presence of flavonoids. This pattern contrasts strikingly with the purple trident basal guide lines so prominent in the visible spectrum. The weakly protandrous flowers also have exserted styles, thus functioning to exclude its own pollen and insure outbreeding. These floral adaptations are related specifically to the pollination behavior ofXylocopa appendiculata, and in general to the floral evolution within the genusErythronium.
