However, we believe such abiotic factors are not the most likely selective pressures involved in the development of blue anthers in I Syngonanthus umbellatus i , as many other Eriocaulaceae are commonly found in open humid areas with high solar radiation and, in spite of that, striking colors are not a common feature of the family. Moreover, the recognition of the blue anthers in I S. umbellatus i represents a further small step toward a better comprehension of biogeographic patterns of reproductive biology and pollination ecology in Eriocaulaceae and, ultimately, in Angiosperms.
