附錄一、杯莖蛇菰 (Balanophora subcupularis)雄花被片數統計
附錄二、蛇菰上拜訪昆蟲 (花粉及果實傳播)
本研究在採集過程曾看見熊蜂拜訪臺灣產 B. mutinoides，但很可惜未影像記 錄到。我們在 2014 年 12 月 15 日觀察到花蓮太魯閣 B. tobiracola 族群上爬滿了 螞蟻 (附錄二、圖 1)，同 Kawakita and Kato (2012)之紀錄。
2014 年 7 月 27 日至雲南大理蒼山進行採集，發現到類似 B. harlandii 但經 本研究為一未定名蛇菰花序被啃食的痕跡 (附錄二、圖 2)，推測可能是小型齧齒 類動物所為。同年 12 月 15 日發現臺灣花蓮產 B. tobiracola 花序被啃食(附錄二、
圖 3)，並且在一旁發現動物的排遺 (附錄二、圖 4)，經鑑定為臺灣野山羊 (Naemorhedus swinhoei)，這是首次報導中型哺乳類取食蛇菰的情形。蛇菰的果實 十分細小，有可能會沾附動物臉部藉以傳播，另外蛇菰的花序與菇類相似，被認 為 可 以 吸 引 取 食 真 菌 的 齧 齒 類 動 物 ， 而 這 些 真 菌 的 孢 子 可 由 其 糞 便 散 佈 (Claridge and May, 1994)，就上述紀錄蛇菰有可能藉此傳播果實，但蛇菰的果實 經過消化後是否還能萌芽還待未來研究。
