Abstract The only hard evidence from field studies in the natural range ofApios americana (Leguminosae) indicates that this species is frequently triploid and seed sterile, and that the only legitimate pollinators are Megachilid bees. Claims of fly pollination based exclusively on examination of floral features of a European botanic garden specimen are unwarranted.
