La precipitación está asociada con la fenología de Rodriguezia granadensis (Lindl.) Rchb. f. en Fusagasugá, Cundinamarca Translated title: Precipitation is associated with phenology of Rodriguezia granadensis (Lindl.) Rchb. f. in Fusagasugá, Cundinamarca

Abiotic pollination by wind or water is well established in flowering plants. In some species pollination by rain splashes, a condition known as ombrophily, has been proposed as a floral strategy. However, evidence for this type of abiotic pollination has remained controversial and many reported cases have subsequently been shown to be false. This study investigates ombrophily in the deceptive orchid Acampe rigida to determine the mechanism by which this species is able to maintain high fecundity, despite flowering during the rainy season in south-west China when pollinators are scarce.
