Floral biology of Vigna longifolia: Leguminosae, Phaseoleae

Flower phases and flower visitors of Vigna longifolia were studied in Parque Rivadavia (Concordia, Entre Rios Province, Argentina). Flowers are flat-blossom in structure, although the alighting place is the left-hand wing petal. Standard and wings (yellow) are attractive to visitors. Under UV lighti...
