Abstract
Protandry was investigated in Dillenia suffruticosa (Griffth) Martelli. The species is highly specialized for its herkogamous, nectarless, pollen - only flowers with sternotribic pollination. Flower nature is revolver type. Wind pollination is absent and replaced by insect pollination regarded as a transitional state of evolution of advanced pollination syndrome. Pollinators are a key factor in reproductive success of species. In D. suffruticosa, protandrous flowers with long pollen viability and spatial orientation of stamen and stigma found to be an adaptation to insect-mediated cross-pollination.
