Cullenia eAarillara (Ilornbacareae). a common tree of south Western Ghats, flowers during times of fruit scarcity in the rain forest and thus attracts the entire diurnal and nocturnal frugivore com-munity_ In addition to hats, the fruvivores include many non-votant mammals and birds_ Little information exists on the pollination mechanism of C emir/Ai/a/a or on the major pollinators anion its visitors. All mammal visitors to the tree eat the flowers, and a study was conducted from 1996 to 1998 on the role of these mammalian vectors in pollination of C. exordium at Kokachi, a rain forest site in the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve of south India. Data suggest that C. exurdiam may represent the first flocu. mewed case of a predator-pollinator system for a maminal-pollinated tree species.
