OVERLAPPING LEAVES COVERING FLOWERS IN THE ALPINE SPECIES ERIOPHYTON WALLICHII (LAMIACEAE): KEY DRIVING FACTORS AND THEIR POTENTIAL IMPACT ON POLLINATION.

Extrafloral structures are supposed to have evolved to protect flowers from harsh physical environments but might have effects on pollination.Overlapping leaves cover flowers in Eriophyton wallichii, an alpine perennial endemic to the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains.In previous study, it has showed that these extrafloral leaves can protect interior flo
