Tecomaria capensis yellow flowers

A Tecomaria capensis flower has four stamens with brown anthers prominently dangling from the filament tips, as well as an even further protruding style.

Pollination is performed mainly by sunbirds as the curved corolla shape might suggest. Other long-beaked, nectar-consuming birds and bees also contribute.

Depositing ripe pollen from the prominently protruding stamens onto bird faces for random distribution to the stigmas of other flowers visited in sequence is a simple, effective system (Coates Palgrave, 2002).
