*Families and genera which are confirmed as pollinators are presented in bold. The names are arranged in alphabetical order by family within cells.
†The numbers in parentheses are sample sizes: number of taxa of Ceropegia (species and subspecies) followed by number of accessions (see text for details). Only taxa that could be firmly assigned to clades have been included.
‡No flower visitor data are available for clade B which is included only for completeness.
