Passiflora Online - Musonycteris harrisonii
  sub sole sub umbra virens

 

Musonycteris harrisoni


 

  Musonycteris harrisonii with an almost beak-like snout is the ultimate nectar specialist among the Glossophagines. One of the world's most extraordinary looking creatures. Its common name is the 'Banana Bat' so no guesses as to what it pollinates amongst other trees.
