Pollination of a slippery lady slipper orchid in south-west China: Cypripedium guttatum (Orchidaceae)

Abstract: Cypripedium guttatum was studied in north-west Yunnan at 3490 m a.s.l. The flowers are rewardless 'kettle traps'. The structure of the lip, where pollinators are temporarily kept prisoner, and the method of their capture, are unusual in being Paphiopedilum -rather than Cypripedium -like. The deceptive orchid does not mimic any of the diverse flowers concurrently blooming in the habitat, all being visited by the polylectic pollinators of C. guttatum , viz . Lasioglossum virideglaucum, L. clypeinitens and L. sau… Show more

“…The labellum of C. reginae received far more visits from non-pollinators over a three-season period than true pollinia-vectors. In this respect, the pollination ecology of C. reginae parallels that of C. plectrochilum and C. guttatum (Banzinger et al 2005) which are also visited repeatedly by a broader spectrum of pollinators and non-pollinating but anthophilous insects that are not of optimal size. In C. yunnanense and C. flavum most visitors to these orchids were true pollinia vectors although two Calliphora spp.…”

“…In C. yunnanense and C. flavum most visitors to these orchids were true pollinia vectors although two Calliphora spp. fell into the labellum and died (Banzinger et al 2008). Otherwise, most Cypripedium spp.…”

“…В Китае и Северной Америке его опыляют мелкие пчелы семейства Halictidae рода Lasioglossum и мухи-журчалки (Bänzinger et al, 2005;Argue, 2012). Однако иссле-дователи на Южном Урале отмечают преобладание настоящих мух (Ишмуратова и др., 2005) и мошек (Кривошеев, Ишмуратова, 2012).…”

“…На цветках C. calceolus в регионе отмечены еще Andrena lapponica (Кириллова и др., 2012), однако они крупнее по размерам и вряд ли могут проникать внутрь цветка C. guttatum. Журчалки являются второстепенными опылителями, поскольку отме-чено большое число случаев обнаружения мертвых особей в губе цветка, что ука-зывает на трудности в ориентации мух в замкнутом пространстве (Кириллова и др., 2012; Bänzinger et al, 2005). Комплекс опылителей C. guttatum в Республике Коми существенно отличается от состава посетителей, выявленных в Башкирии (Кривошеев, Ишмуратова, 2012), и сходен с данными по Китаю и Северной Аме-рике (Bänzinger et al, 2005;Argue, 2012).…”
