Abstract
The present study reports the details of phenology, floral biology, pollination biology and breeding system of C. aeruginosa (Zingiberaceae), in Kerala, India. C. aeruginosa is strictly seasonal and bears approximately 7-9 flowers/inflorescence during the peak time of flowering. The nectar is rich in sucrose (77%). The most frequent and efficient pollinator is Amegilla sp. (Apidae). Higher percentage of pollen sterility is the cause of poor fruit-set in C. aeruginosa.
