Abstract

The pollination of various flowers is made possible by the rewards present in flowers, which enable a mutualistic trophic interaction between plants and animals. However, some flowers are known for their deceptive feeding, where only the resource signaling exists without its actual availability. For a long time, it was believed that flowers of the genus Vanilla exhibited this characteristic. Nevertheless, this association is increasingly being debunked through research on species within the genus, and further studies are needed to better understand the morphology, anatomy, and histochemistry of nectariferous tissues and their secretions.
