“…Mucuna macrocarpa (Fabaceae) is a woody, evergreen, climbing vine that is widely distributed in Southeast Asia, Himalayas, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Archipelago, and Kyushu, Japan (Tateishi & Ohashi, 1981). This species shows a special "explosive opening" step during pollination (Figure 1), which is a common trait in the genus (Agostini, Sazima, & Sazima, 2006;von Helversen & von Helversen, 2003;Kobayashi, Gale, Denda, & Izawa, 2019;van der Pijl, 1941). The stamens and pistil are covered by a pair of carina petals.…”

“…Mucuna (Fabaceae) is a genus of more than 100 species of woody climbing plants that is thought to have originated in tropical Asia and subsequently diversified throughout the global tropics and subtropics (Moura et al, 2016; Schrire, 2005). The flower type of this genus is papilionaceous (butterfly like), and an explosive opening step has been shown to be essential for successful pollination in all species examined to date (Agostini, Sazima, & Sazima, 2006; Kobayashi, Denda, et al, 2019; Kobayashi, Gale, et al, 2019; Liu, Shah, Zha, Mohsin, & Ishtiaq, 2013). Explosive opening involves the rapid freeing of the stamens and pistil from behind the carina petals, which are firmly appressed to one another in the unopened state (Westercamp, 1997).…”

“…Explosive opening involves the rapid freeing of the stamens and pistil from behind the carina petals, which are firmly appressed to one another in the unopened state (Westercamp, 1997). This cannot happen automatically and so must be triggered by specific foraging animals, termed explosive openers, upon which the plant therefore completely depends for pollination (Agostini et al, 2006; Kobayashi, Denda, et al, 2019; Kobayashi, Gale, et al, 2019; D. von Helversen & von Helversen, 1999). As flowers in this genus tend to be large (approximately 5–10 cm long) and morphologically complex, a minimum force applied in the right direction is required to trigger explosive opening.…”
