Holcoglossum amesianum is an orchid species in the genus Holcoglossum. It is unique in the plant kingdom as the only known flower to pollinate itself. Rather than depending on insects or the wind for pollination, scientists have discovered that Holcoglossum amesianum fertilizes itself; the orchid defies gravity to twist the male part of its flower into the necessary shape to fertilize the female one. The plant does so without the help of sticky fluids or other methods used by self-pollinating plants to ensure that the pollen reaches the egg, it grows on tree trunks in China's Yunnan province and flowers during the dry, windless months of February to April. The orchid produces no nectar. Instead, the pollen-bearing anther uncovers itself and rotates into a suitable position to insert into the stigma cavity, where fertilization takes place; this sexual relationship is so exclusive that flowers do not transfer pollen to other flowers on the same plant.
