What it does
Magnolia tamaulipana is pollinated by beetles, including two species of the scarab beetles Cyclocephala and other beetles in family Staphylinidae. The plants produce large protogynous flowers which are viable for up to 24 hours. The flowers are thermogenic, and the heat produced dissipates the flower scent to attract pollinating beetles.
