摘      要：Observations and experiments on several species of Musaceae [Macroglossus-acuminata, M. balbisiana, M. halabanensis, M. ornata, M. textilis, M. coccinea, Ensete glaucum and E. ventricosum] in West Java and central Sumatra showed that the species with pendent inflorescences are pollinated by macroglossine bats, principally by the long-tongued fruit bats, Macroglossus minimus and Eonycteris spelaea. Among the species with an erect inflorescence Musa velutina proves to be self pollinating, while M. salaccensis has sunbirds (Nectariniidae) and tree shrews (Tupaia) as pollinators. A discussion on pollination in this family is presented in this paper.
