Plants of theGlochidion(Phyllanthaceae) genus are pollinated exclusively by host-specificEpicephala(Gracillariidae) moths. Floral scent has been thought to play key role in the obligate pollination mutualism betweenGlochidionplants andEpicephalamoths, but few studies have been reported about chemical variation in floral volatiles ofGlochidionspecies in China. Floral volatiles of male and female flowers of fiveGlochidionspecies in south China were collected by dynamic headspace absorption technique and then were chemically analyzed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 69 compounds were identified from floral scents of five investigated species.Glochidion hirsutumandG.zeylanicumshowed no qualitative differences in floral scent, whereas there were clear variations of floral scent among other species (G. eriocarpum,G.daltonii, andG. sphaerogynum) and also they distinctly differed from these two species. Male flowers emitted significantly more scent than female flowers.Glochidionplants exhibited qualitative and quantitative differences in floral scent between two sexes of flowers. The findings suggest that the volatile variation of floral scent amongGlochidionspecies reflects adaptations to specific pollinators. Sexual dimorphism in floral scent has evolved to signal alternative rewards provided by each sex toEpicephalamoths.
