4. Discussion
Several reports on floral morphology describe the general structure
of the flowers of J. curcas (Bhattacharya et al., 2005; Rianti et al., 2010;
Solomon Raju and Ezradanam, 2002; Wu et al., 2011). There are important differences between female and male flowers, such as the nectaries; in the female flower they are larger than those on male flowers,
containing 4.54 ± 0.82μL and 1.92 ± 0.44μL of nectar, respectively
