Darwin observed an orchid from Madagascar that had a nectar spur of about 30 cm in length. He wondered how it was possible for such a flower to get pollinated if it's nectar was so deep inside the floor. His speculation turned out to be true what was it?

Concept explainers

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
