Abstract
The floral behavior and insect visitors of Trapa natans L. var. japonica Nakai are described. Individual flowers bloom for one day and are visited primarily by Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Exclusion experiments indicate flowers are self- and cross-compatible as well as apomictic. Insect visitors assist in self-pollination as they more within the flower.
