Abstract: Field and experimental observations on pollination in Elaeagnus Mollis Diels showed that: (1)Elaeagnus Mollis Diels can go self-and cross-pollination. The effective pollinators were native captive bees in the species. (2)The floral morphological characteristics of Elaeagnus Mollis Diels are harmonied with the pollinator’s morphological structure and pollination behavior. The pollinators use their heads and thoraxes to transfer pollens. (3)Elaeagnus Mollis Diels has floral nectary structure and secreting nectar yield reaches the peak 1~2 d after its blooming. Because of ample nectar yield it has obvious advantage in attracting the pollinators,and the visiting frequency of floral visitors on Elaeagnus mollis Diels was remarkably higher than other plants at same flowering time.(4)There is no apomixes in Elaeagnus Mollis Diels.

Key words: Elaeagnus Mollis Diels, pollination biology
