猴面包树包括八个品种，具有巨大，壮观的夜间花朵。非洲猴面包树，猴面包树，一直被认为是蝙蝠授粉。在本文中，我文件的花生物学和授粉系统的其余七个物种。这两个物种都是马达加斯加特有的，由夜间哺乳动物（果蝠和狐猴）授粉。相比之下，在Longitudinal组中的五个物种，四个是马达加斯加特有的，一个是澳大利亚特有的，由长舌天蛾授粉。在所有情况下，除了合法的传粉者外，动物也利用花蜜和花粉。这两种传粉系统的发生与花的形态、物候和花蜜产量的差异密切相关。
The baobabs comprise eight species with large, spectacular, nocturnal flowers. The African baobab, Adansonia digitata, has long been known to be bat-pollinated. In this paper I document the floral biology and pollination systems of the remaining seven species. The two species in section Brevitubae, both endemic to Madagascar, are pollinated by nocturnal mammals (fruit bats and lemurs). In contrast, the five species in section Longitubae, four endemic to Madagascar and one to Australia, are pollinated by long-tongued hawkmoths. In all cases, animals besides the legitimate pollinators also exploited nectar and pollen. The two pollination systems occurring in the genus correlate closely with differences in the floral morphology, phenology, and nectar production.
