Open AccessThe evolution of floral deception in Epipactis veratrifolia (Orchidaceae): from indirect defense to pollination
It is estimated that floral deception has evolved in at least 7500 species of angiosperms, of which two thirds are orchids. Epipactis veratrifolia (Orchidaceae) is a model system of aphid mimicry as aphidophagous...
