Ackerman, J. D.; Montalvo, A. M., 1990, Short- and long-term limitations of fruit production in a tropical orchid, Ecology, vol. 71, n^o 1, pp. 263-272.

Fruit production in iteroparous flowering plants can be limited by a variety of conditions that need not be mutually exclusive nor immediately evident. We examined short- and long-term constraints to fruit production in a Puerto Rican population of the infrequently pollinated orchid Epidendrum ciliare . Average natural fruit maturation rate ranged from 5 to 15% over 4 yr. To evaluate limitations to fruit production, pollinations were augmented for a randomly chosen experimental portion of a population for two consecutive years. During this period, only 10 and 15% of flowers on control plants were naturally pollinated. Hand-pollinations of nearly all flowers produced by experimental plants increased fruit production to 33 and 49%, compared to 5 and 8% for controls. Thus, fruit production within seasons was partially limited by pollinations.

Variation in floral fragrance compounds might be a pollination strategy that disrupts associative learning processes and inhibits pollinator's ability to recognize non-rewarding flowers. Floral fragrances of the nectarless, moth-pollinated Epidendrum ciliare (Orchidaceae) were obtained from plants of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Fragrances were collected by passive diffusion on tenax adsorbent and analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The analysis was performed at six different levels: 1) by flower position on the same inflorescence; 2) by flower age on the same plant; 3) by position and age of the flower in the same plant; 4) by different shoots of the same plant; 5) by flowers from different plants; 6) and by plants from different populations. At no level of analyses were fragrances of sample pairs identical. The greatest similarity among fragrances was between flowers of the same plant. The most notable differences were between flowers of different populations. High levels of floral fragrance variation were consistent with the hypothesized deception pollination syndrome, but comparisons with reward-producing flowers remain to be done.

fragrance et pollinisation de l'espèce

"Ackerman and Montalvo (1990) found proof for ... pollinator in Puerto Rico. ... The hawkmoth Pseudosphinx tetrio was a pollinator in one of the populations studied."

"as twilight approaches, they start emitting a very appealing ‘white-floral’ scent, accompanied during the first few hours by an astringent, grapefruit-like note. This is attributable principally to 2-methylbutyr-aldoxime and realted compounds, which are characteristic of night-scented flowering plants...

its sent can also emphasize different aspects, depending on the origin of the plant."

"A highly variable floral scent composition was found among non-rewarding flowers of the beetle-pollinated Magnolia kobus DC. (Azuma, Toyota, and Asakawa, 2001 ) and the moth-pollinated orchid Epidendrum ciliare L. (Moya and Ackerman, 1993 ). In female-stage flowers of M. kobus, no single floral scent compound was found in all individuals. Furthermore, individuals or whole populations were characterized either by oxygenated terpenoids and benzenoids, N-compounds, and benzenoids, or by terpenoid hydrocarbons combined with benzenoids and/or oxygenated terpenoids. In E. ciliare, the similarity in floral scent composition among four populations was likewise very low, ranging from 12 to 21%. Pollination in both species is suggested to rely partly or wholly on deception. However, in M. kobus the large variation is suggested to reflect low importance of scent compared to visual cues in attracting pollinators, while the deception in E. ciliare is suggested to rely on disruption of the learning processes in the exploratory behavior of food-searching, naïve moths."
