Plants are dioecious. Epiphyllous inflorescences This trait is rather unusual among plants. This strange floral position upon a leaf is believed to be an adaption to insect pollination. Pollinators, which are too large for the flowers, land on the leaf surfaces and can pollinate the flowers, which would not be able to support the pollinators themselves.
