Canarina canadensis, three Isoplexis species Lotus berthelotii, among other species, have been supposed be pollinated. None of their flowers reflect UV light the volume nectar produced is relatively high with low sugar concentration, indicating pollination. This study gives first report birds visiting thus pollinating these species. Sylvia melanocephala, S. conspiciltata Phylloscopus collybita visited I. canariensis C. flowers. sceptrum Digitalis obscura are regarded as transitional anthecologically between canariensisj isabelliana European
