Ducke in 1902 reported that bee species, Halictus Latreille had visited flowers of Davilla rugosa Poir.[5] Then Kuhlmann & Kühn in 1947 indicated bees and other insects were listed as pollinators of Davilla rugosa.[6]
Although Davilla kunthii was visited occasionally pollinated by beetles, Rech et al. 2011 agreed with Gottsberger in 1977,[7] who pointed out that there is a destruction of 20 to 30% of fruits in Davilla elliptica and up to 100% in Davilla rugosa.[8]
