''Mucuna holtonii'' is a species of plant in the bean family, which is pollinated by bats. Bats are able to detect if the flowers have nectar using echolocation.〔 *D. von Helversen and O. von Helversen. "Object recognition by echolocation: a nectar feedingbat exploiting the flowers of a rain forest vine". in Journal of Comp. Physiol. A. (2003) 189: 327-336.〕〔von Helversen & von Helversen (1999) (Acoustic guide in bat-pollinated flower ) ''Nature'' 398:759-760.〕 After an initial bat visit during which nectar is removed, the petals are arranged in a different manner (altering the shape of the flower). As a result, the unique "echo fingerprint" of petal arrangement informs the bat whether nectar is present or absent. This trait appears to have coevolved with bats. == Sources == 〔
