Prosopanache is the tropical American answer to Hydnora of Africa. The two genera are sisters, holoparasitic & lack chlorophyll. They appear above ground only as flowers. This is Prosopanche americana, parasitic on legumes. 📷: Agustín Zarco CCBY4 #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Food mimicry occurs in Aristolochia rotunda (📷: wp-polzin CCBYNC4). The flower emits the same chemicals as those secreted by bugs (Miridae) when predators kill them. Chloropidae flies, which feed on dead bug fluids, are lured into flowers → pollination. #Diptera #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

In addition to scent & color, the shape of the flowers is likely attractive to flies (Diptera). On A. tricaudata (“3 tails”), the long attenuate lobes of the perianth are probably fly attractants. Flies, it seems, like that sort of thing. #TropicalBotany #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Have you heard the one about the fly that walked into a flower?
When a pollen-bearing fly enters the flower of an Aristilochia (like this A. samarensis), the journey is 1-way: Downward-pointing hairs prevent escape. The flower is in the female phase, so the stigma picks up the pollen from the fly.
