Pollination ecology of Derris trifoliata (Fabaceae), a mangrove associate in Coringa Mangrove Forest, Andhra Pradesh, India

Abstract: Derris trifoliata is a perennial woody climber.  It blooms massively for about two weeks in July/August. The flowers are hermaphroditic, feebly protandrous, self-compatible and display a vector dependent mixed breeding system.  They close back by the end of the day of anthesis.  The forenoon anthesis and pollen and nectar as rewards attract daytime foragers.  The nectar feeding foragers require strength to depress the keel petals in order to collect nectar; only those foragers which have the required strength … Show more

“…In terms of species richness, while previous studies reported only one species (Acrostichum areum) growing in the reference old growth forest (Wagner and Sallema-Mtui, 2016), the present study found three species growing here (Table 1), among which A. areum and D. trifoliata were mangrove-associated species (Lobo and Krishnakumar, 2014;Raju and Kumar, 2016). Nontree species do not fully correspond to the initial floristic composition succession model (Almazan-Nunenz, et al, 2016), as not all species present in the early succession stages persist to subsequent succession stages (Table 1).…”

“…It has morphological characteristics of parallel leaves with pointed ends, white flowers clustered, and small petals. The air cavities within D. trifoliata's fruits help the species to float and spread in the tidal area (Raju and Kumar 2016). Both N. fruticans and D. trifoliate are only found on this site.…”

“…demonstram que as mesmas possuem um sistema especialista ou recebem significativas visitas, principalmente de Xylocopa sp. (Van Der Pijl, 1954;Arroyo, 1981;Gottsberger & SilberbauerGottsberger, 1988;Aguiar et al, 2003;Leite & Machado, 2009;Borges et al, 2009;Borges et al, 2012;Raju et al, 2016). Em adição, estudos com espécies da subtribo Cassiinae no cerrado, que apresentavam barreiras morfológicas para autopolinização, necessitavam de um grupo de abelhas para realizar a polinização de forma eficiente, sendo estas distribuídas nos gêneros Xylocopa, Centris e Bombus (Nascimento & DelClaro, 2007;Almeida et al, 2013;Almeida et al, 2015).…”
