Myristicaceae stamens. However, "Myristica" is probably pollinated by true ants, a case of myrmecophily. A few New Guinea "Myristica" species have evolved hollow stem swellings in which ants reside. This facilitates a mutualistic relationship known as myrmecophily, and is similar to that of "Cecropia".
