Cactus Pollination

Cactus Pollination is a specialized pollination system in which the reproductive success of cactus species depends on specific interactions with particular pollinators, often involving nocturnal animals such as bats and moths, that are adapted to the cacti’s floral morphology, timing of anthesis, and nectar production.
