confluent, as in the following species of Aceras, in O. pyramidalis and hircina. Nevertheless, in Aceras a single pollinium is sometimes removed by insects, though more rarely than with the other species of Orchis. Aceras (Orchis) longibracteata. Mr. Moggridge has given an interesting account, together with a figure, of this plant which grows in the South of France. The pollinia are attached to a single viscid disc. When they are removed they do not diverge as in O. pyramidalis, but converge and then

Ophrys, and is much more rigid; the upper part is naturally curved forward; the lower part undergoes the usual movement of depression, when the pollinia are removed from their cells. The pollen-masses never fall spontaneously out of their cells. This plant, therefore, differs in every important respect from O. apifera, and seems to be much more closely allied to O. aranifera. Ophrys scolopax of Cavanilles. This form inhabits the north of Italy and the south of France. Mr. Moggridge says* that

constructed so as to be regularly cross-fertilised, it may be asked will it ever revert to its former state; and if it does not so revert, will it become extinct? These questions cannot be answered, any more than in the case of those plants which are now propagated exclusively by buds, stolons, c., but which produce flowers that rarely or never set any seed; and there is reason to believe that a sexual propagation is closely analogous to long-continued self-fertilisation. Finally Mr. Moggridge

accordance with the belief of Linn us, who grouped them all together under the name of Ophrys insectifera. Mr. Moggridge further shows that in Italy O. aranifera flowers first, and O. apifera last, the intermediate forms at intermediate periods; and according to Mr. Oxenden, the same fact holds good to a certain extent in Kent. The three forms which inhabit England do not seem to blend into one another as in Italy, and I am assured by Mr. Oxenden, who has closely attended to these plants in

course of time to what was undoubtedly their pristine condition, and in this case their various adaptations for cross-fertilisation would be again brought into action. We may believe that such reversion is possible, when we hear from Mr. Moggridge that Ophrys scolopa fertilises itself freely in one district of Southern France without the aid of insects, and [page] 29

closer than that of O. apifera to a bee; and yet the fertilisation of the former absolutely depends on and is effected by the means of insects. All the foregoing observations relate to England, but Mr. Moggridge made similar ones on the Bee Ophrys in Northern Italy and Southern France, as did Treviranus* in Germany, and Dr. Hooker in Morocco. We may therefore conclude, from the pollinia spontaneously falling on the stigma from the co-related structure of all the parts for this purpose and from
