This species employs a deceptive pollination strategy. The orchid does not provide rewards to pollinators. It benefits from blooming in the same period as rewarding species. Amegilla is the most important pollinator, but ther diurnal insects, such as four species of bees, two species of butterflies, one species of moth and two other unidentified insects, have also been observed to interact with the flowers
