Abstract
“Hawkmoth flowers are easy to predict but difficult to document,” noted botanist Verne Grant in his comprehensive review of hawkmoth pollination systems in North America (Botanical Gazette 144: 439-449. 1983). Grant included Jamestown (atamasco) lilies (among other zephyr lily species) as examples of plants that are probably hawkmoth- pollinated, but for which the actual pollination mechanism remains undocumented.
