Chemical analysis (GC-MS) yielded a total of 58 volatile compounds in the floral scents of six species of Annonaceae distributed in four genera (Xylopia, Anaxagorea, Duguetia, and Rollinia), Xylopia aromatica is pollinated principally by Thysanoptera and secondarily by small beetles (Nitidulidae and Staphylinidae), whereas the five other species were pollinated by Nitidulidae and Staphylinidae only. Although the six Annonaceae species attract a similar array of pollinator groups, the major constituents of their floral scents are of different biochemical origin. The fragrances of flowers of Anaxagorea brevipes and Anaxagorea dolichocarpa were dominated by esters of aliphatic acids (ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, ethyl 3-methylbutanoate), which were not detected in the other species. Monoterpenes (limonene, p-cymene, alpha-pinene) were the main scent compounds of Duguetia asterotricha, and naphthalene prevailed in the scent of Rollinia insignis flowers. The odors of X. aromatica and Xylopia benthamii flowers were dominated by high amounts of benzenoids (methylbenzoate, 2-phenylethyl alcohol).
化学分析（气相色谱 - 质谱联用）在分布于四个属（木瓣树属、番荔枝属、盖裂果属和罗庚梅属）的六种番荔枝科植物的花香中总共检测出58种挥发性化合物。芳香木瓣树主要由蓟马传粉，其次由小型甲虫（露尾甲科和隐翅虫科）传粉，而其他五个物种仅由露尾甲科和隐翅虫科传粉。尽管这六种番荔枝科植物吸引了相似的传粉者群体，但它们花香的主要成分具有不同的生化来源。短柄番荔枝和长果番荔枝花朵的香气主要由脂肪酸酯（2 - 甲基丁酸乙酯、3 - 甲基丁酸乙酯）主导，而在其他物种中未检测到这些成分。单萜类化合物（柠檬烯、对伞花烃、α - 蒎烯）是星毛盖裂果花香的主要成分，萘在罗庚梅花香中占主导地位。芳香木瓣树和本氏木瓣树花朵的气味主要由大量的苯类化合物（苯甲酸甲酯、2 - 苯乙醇）主导。
