nektaria
Nektaria, commonly referred to as nectaries, are nectar-secreting glands found in many flowering plants. The term comes from Latin nectarium and is used to describe tissues that produce nectar to attract animals that assist in pollination. Nektaria can be floral, located on flowers such as petals, sepals, or reproductive organs, or extrafloral, occurring on leaves, stems, or stipules away from the floral organs.
Floral nectaries often arise from various floral tissues and can be glandular epidermis or underlying parenchyma
Function and chemistry are central to nectaria. They secrete a sugar-rich nectar that serves as a reward
Nektaria are widespread across angiosperms and exhibit substantial anatomical and ecological diversity. Their study informs understanding
