Helpp. Hibiscus question?

Name the pollinator that coevolved with the hibiscus and describe the relationship.



THANKS!
Helpp. Hibiscus question?
If you're pertaining to the shrub Hibiscus i.e. Gumamela (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), it is highly not pollinated because of its very long staminal column and style.

Another Hibiscus I know i.e. Okra (Hibiscus esculentus) is usually pollinated by bees. Ants also visited this plant but I don't know if they are its pollinators.

A tree Hibiscus I know i.e. found in Mount Makiling is pollinated by flies.
