Contradicting information edit
The information in this sentence "It is unique in the plant kingdom as the only known flower to pollinate itself" appears to contradict with the information in Self-pollination, as Self-pollination article shows that there's some more plants that can self-pollinate other than Holcoglossum amesianum. So Holcoglossum amesianum isn't the "only known flower to pollinate itself", is it? Bluetpp (talk) 10:09, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes I absolutely agree! It is quite simply a false statement. Autogamy in plants is not a singular adaption. For instance several other orchids do that as well.[1][2][3] This is why I am removing this statement.Conan Wolff (talk) 18:18, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
