Popis:	Floral fragrances are known to attract pollinators. Resemblances in the chemistry of floral scents may associate a group of plants to the same array of pollinators and/or mirror the systematics of related species. In this study, floral volatiles were extracted and all compounds identified from four Licuala palms: L. grandis, L. mattanensis, L. spinosa and L. lauterbachii. A typical emission of isoprenoid compounds in the four species was revealed. However, each species was characterized by a different chemical composition of the floral bouquet. The relative importance of similarity and diversity found in floral scent chemistry for pollination and systematics is discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
