FUSION AND POLLINATION. “By creating a floral tube that restricts access to a reward, fusion also provides a means of directing specialized and efficient pollination, thereby potentially increasing individual fitness. The fusion of various floral organ whorls enables coordinated development among the fused parts, providing mechanisms for genetic isolation and differential selection via highly specialized coordination of pollen and stigma placement in the elaboration of pollination syndromes.”
