About Malvaceae

Malvaceae is a plant family where most species are herbaceous plants or shrubs, though some grow as trees or lianas. For pollination, self-pollination is commonly prevented through protandry. Most species in the family are entomophilous, meaning they are pollinated by insects. Bees belonging to the Emphorini tribe of the Apidae family โ€” which includes the genera Ptilothrix, Diadasia, and Melitoma โ€” are known to specialize on pollinating Malvaceae plants.
