Most animal-pollinated flowers offer nectar or pollen as a reward to their pollinators.A small fraction,however,have switched to other rewards,such as fatty oils offered in glandular hairs or just below the epidermis....
The Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), the first conservation area and the largest protected area (PA) in Nepal, is incredibly rich in biodiversity. Notwithstanding this, orchids in the ACA have not been explored enou...

The Orchidaceae,which is one of the most interesting families of angiosperms,contains a large number of rare species.Despite their acknowledged importance,little attention has been paid to the study of orchids distrib...
The leafless Vanilla species complex from the South-West Indian Ocean(SWIO)region has long been a taxonomic challenge,due to limited patterns of morphological differentiation and an absence of variation within chlorop...
