On the floral biology and pollination of a rare Twining Liana Sarcolobus carinatus Wall. (Asclepiadoideae: Apocynaceae) in Coringa Mangrove Forest, Andhra Pradesh, India

SUMMARY

Sarcolobus carinatus is a rare twining liana distributed towards landward side at Coringa Mangrove Forest.  It exhibits pheno-events, leaf fall, leaf flushing, flowering and fruiting sequentially from May-December.  It is a hermaphroditic species with specialized pollination system which is substantiated by corolline and staminal coronas.  It is pollinated by carpenter bees.  Seed dispersal includes anemochory and hydrochory.
