Comments: It was originally thought to have been pollinated by birds, however, recent investigations have demonstrated that day geckos (phelsuma ornata) are the preferred pollinator of these flowers whereas birds functioned as nectar thieves. The red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus) robs it of its nectar
