Solution

The correct option is C Kigellia
Pollination of flowers which occurs by means of bats is called Chiropterophily. Example of plant pollinated by a bat is Kigelia (also known as sausage tree) which is pollinated by the bat Micropterus. Salvia has a turnpipe mechanism of pollination and is pollinated by bee. Ophrys is pollinated by a moth Colpa aurea (hairy wasp) and they both possess a relationship of pseudocopulation.
So, the correct answer is C.
