Abstract

Two closely related species of Capparis, C. ovata and C. spinosa, which are exposed to the same pollination environment were studied. The nectar volume and concentration of C. ovata are higher than in C. spinosa. Both species have similar pollination efficiency, but the relative contribution of each pollinator is different. C. ovata is pollinated mainly hy hawkmoths while the principal pollinators in C. spinosa are bees.
