Abstract

Santalum album is an evergreen tree species that flowers twice in a year with a gap of one month during May-September. It is hermaphrodite, obligately self-incompatible and entomophilous. The principal pollinators are bees and nymphalid butterflies while a species of hoverfly and potter wasp are additional pollinators in both flowering seasons. The fruits are fleshy, 1- or 2-seeded drupes and seed dispersal is ornithochorous. The study indicates that S. album is obligately vector-dependent for pollination and seed dispersal.

檀香是一种常绿树种，每年开花两次，在5月至9月之间间隔一个月。它雌雄同体，专性自交不亲和，嗜虫。主要的传粉者是蜜蜂和雌雄蝴蝶，而一种食蚜蝇和波特黄蜂在两个开花季节都是额外的传粉者。果实肉质，核果有1或2粒种子，种子的传播是鸟栖的。研究结果表明，沙蚕对传粉和种子传播具有一定的媒介依赖性。
