The flowers of the two orchid species offer no food reward to pollinators. Flowers of the three species show definite morphological and visual resemblance, and the species overlap to a great extent in flowering phenology and habitat Mimic flowers were much less numerous than model flowers, which occurred abundantly in the area. The rate of pollinaria removal was very low in both orchid species, resulting in a relatively small percentage of fruit set, especially in <jats:italic>D. infundibulum<\/jats:italic>. Infrequency of pollinator visits was, however, somewhat counterbalanced by long-lasting flowers. The pollinaria of the two orchid species are differently positioned on the bee, hence interference between the different reproductive systems is minimized. This is the first report which indicates floral mimicry from tropical Asia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0266467400000389","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,10]],"date-time":"2009-07-10T14:30:44Z","timestamp":1247236244000},"page":"289-302","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Pollination of <i>Dendrobium infundibulum, Cymbidium insigne<\/i> (Orchidaceae) and <i>Rhododendron lyi<\/i> (Ericaceae) by <i>Bombus eximius<\/i> (Apidae) in Thailand: a possible case of floral mimicry"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"G\u00f6sta","family":"Kjellsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Finn N.","family":"Rasmussen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Dupuy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1095-8312.1983.tb01878.x"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref021","first-page":"418","volume-title":"Evolutionary ecology","author":"Turner","year":"1984"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref026","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1936724"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref025","first-page":"365","article-title":"Mimicry in plants","volume":"11","author":"Wiens","year":"1978","journal-title":"Evolutionary Biology"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref023","first-page":"214","volume-title":"Orchid flowers, their pollination and evolution","author":"Van Der Pijl","year":"1966"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref010","first-page":"244","volume-title":"The principles of pollination ecology","author":"Faegri","year":"1979"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref008","first-page":"229","article-title":"Floral mimicry between Orchis israelitica Baumann and Dafni (Orchida ceae)","volume":"49","author":"Dafni","year":"1981","journal-title":"Bellevalia flexuosa Boiss"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1218530"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref017","first-page":"1","article-title":"Orchid genera in Thailand XL - Cymbidieae Pfitz","volume":"72","author":"Seidenfaden","year":"1984","journal-title":"Opera Botanica"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1537-2197.1983.tb06420.x"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/305799a0"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref011","first-page":"245","volume-title":"Coevolution of animals and plants","author":"Gilbert","year":"1975"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1095-8312.1976.tb00240.x"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00982788"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1756-1051.1983.tb01059.x"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2388070"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref024","first-page":"213","volume-title":"The pollination of flowers by insects","author":"Vogel","year":"1978"},{"key":"S0266467400000389_ref005","first-page":"1207","article-title":"A revision of Rhododendron 1.
