N2  - The flower structure of Pollia crispata (R.Br.) Benth. allows access by a taxonomically diverse assemblage of pollinating insects. Patterns of flower anthesis, and removal of pollen, suggest adaptation to diurnal flower visitors. Flowers are pollinated by insects, but Pollia crispata can produce viable seeds independent of insect pollination, and plants can reproduce and spread vegetatively subsequent to founding events. The composition of the pollinator fauna is dominated by syrphid flies, halictid bees and the apid bee Trigona carbonaria, but most insect visitors observed have broader recorded flower host ranges. In general, the insects recorded from Pollia crispata flowers are restricted to the understorey and ground strata of regional subtropical rainforests.
