	Strelitzia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strelitzia is a genus of four species of perennial plants, native to South Africa.
		They are pollinated by sunbirds, which use the spathe as a perch when visiting the flowers; the weight of the bird on the spathe opens it to release the pollen onto the bird's feet, which is then deposited on the next flower it visits.
