Ornithophily & Chiropterophily
Ornithophily:
- Bird-pollinated flowers are not many in number.
- Tiny birds like the humming-birds and the honey-thrushes (birds only an inch or so long) feed on the nectar of flowers like Bignonia capreolata and thereby pollinate them.
- Large flowers of Strelitzia (Musaceae) are pollinated by a honey bird called Nectarine afra.
- In India, silk-cotton (Salmalia or Bombax), Erythrina and a few other trees are visited by crows and mynas when in flower.
- These birds may play some part in the pollination.
Chiropterophily:
- Bauhinia Malandra of Java, Eperua falcata (Leguminosae) and a few other trees are known to be pollinated by bats.
- Several trees in India, like Anthocephalus Chinensis (Rubiaceae) and silk-cotton, are also visited by bats which possibly help in the pollination although their role is not definitely known.
