    AnnotationMost of the ca.8,000 angiosperm species that lack floral rewards are orchids pollinated by food-seekong animals.The fitness benefits of floral deception are still being debated,but most of the available evidence suggests that food deception evolves because it strongly promotes cross-pollination.These plants are generally considered to employ either generalized food deception(exploiting innate preferences of pollinators)or Batesian floral mimicry(exploiting conditioned preferences of pollinators).
