Caption
Balanophora fungosa has dull colors, a yeasty scent and easily detachable fruits, so Kobe University botanist SUETSUGU Kenji suspected the dispersers to be ants. But when he covered the plants with nets that let through ants but not larger animals, he found that the plant’s fruits were no longer picked up.
