FLORAL TUBE. “The majority of cases reported for fusion of floral whorls comes from studies of petals and carpels, which are often associated with reproductive success. A possible reproductive advantage of having a floral tube is the restriction of the access to the floral reward for nectar robbers. in addition, the accumulation of nectar in the bottom of the tube may reduce nectar evaporation and dilution by rain.”
