Nectaries 

June 12, 2023 | by Bloom Code Studio

Nectaries are secretory structures that release sugar-rich solutions made from the substances supplied by the phloem. Two categories can be distinguished: floral nectaries, which are directly associated with pollination, and extrafloral nectaries, which are found on the vegetative parts of the plant. There is a huge variation in nectary structure, from simple epidermal glandular surfaces to more complex structures.
