An analysis of pollination system in Aristolochia manshuriensis has shown that flower structure in this species is strictly adapted to cross-pollination, but the possibility of an autogamous or geitonogamous type of self-pollination with the involvement of insects is not excluded. The flowers of A. manshuriensis are most frequently visited by flies of the family Anthomyiidae, which markedly contribute to their pollination. Males account for 65% of pollinator insects collected from the flowers.
