Resumen:
The aim of this work is to describe and quantify the flower visitors of the invasive Lantana camara L.
(Verbenaceae) at the Chaco forest, and to analyze possible relations between nectar sugar
composition and the main pollinators for this species. Volumes of nectar and sugar concentration
were measured in six different populations of the naturalized exotic L. camara in Central Argentina.
Quantitative nectar sugar composition was determined and compared between populations. In
general, nectar sugar concentration ranged between 25-28% and volume per flower was very low
