2. Iris only by Bees 8 Violets

3 Flys impregnate Orchis 21 & 23 do

4 Epilobium impregnated from younger flowers - same in Euphorbia

16 marks on Corolla to guide insects none on right flower

18 was not aware of use of crossing Bees boring holes dispose necessity of his marks.

42 pollen generally ready first

43 quite as many dichogamous, as dioecious & monoecious

61 case of Salvia

106 Butterflies - Phlox - Dichog:

111 On Campanula read

117 Phyteuma = does not get dusted in room X (one of Campanulaceae) *

Solanaceae * p126 & 167 Passiflora, stigma not ready during the second day whilst another moving up. (Mention after Barberry) probably night flower

186 Allium in same case with Parnassia

212 Horse chesnuts, probably Dichogam.

240 Kalmia like Barberry, moves on being touched

244 Saxifraga saw fly impregnated

249 Dianthus dichogam, & yet stated to be impregnated in close flowers

296 saw ants carry pollen (Nothing to show Dichogamy in this class

346 Hollyock Dichogam.

354 does not understand impregnation of Pea. on depression of wings in Bean-flowers & other Legum. causing exsertion of Pistil & anthers so Bees impregnate - whole structure of flower with rectangular pistils fitted for this end - Keel springs up slowly to old position

Phaseolus, does not know about one side - hairs of pistil brush out pollen; thinks a dichogamit.

390 violet - cavity full of pollen stopped by pistil from being shaken out; curved point of stigma moved by bees can know when no Bee has visited by no shed pollen - proved it by putting gauze over

397. does not know much about Heartease

Kurr

Plants supposed to be fertilised by Wind

Uutica — stigma downy (small): I have seen pollen flying: as in Spinage & I think Beet in the stigmas. Kur says Urtica nectary!!!

Carex stigma downy (Smith) Kurr no long

Plartaigo no long. (I think I have seen Humble-bees at work.) Stigma hairy acute. (Smith)

Sanquinsorbe style as long as staemns stigma noticed Smith

Ulmus —I think Bees

Amentaceae no horny except willow. In none by Smith is stigma plumn or very large.

Parietania has a tufted stigma as that of nettle tube.—

Hop   long linear stigma — Bartham nettel Fang

In one of the Ray Soc. Report Bot.

Paper a long description on position of nectaries in Veg K.

403 Orchis latifolia - thinks this impregnate - never saw Bees.- has never seen nectar in. calls them sham-nectar producers -

nectary within hairy - look at night -

405 Butterfly orchis has nectar - smells at night - probably a moth impregnation

406 Listera ovata has nectar & visited by Ichneumon (p 407) with 2 pairs on head. 409 Next year other cases & Beetles. Saw the act of impregnation effected.

414 often see Flies in Epipactis, cd not be impregnated without insects  p 415 saw fly remove the pollen-masses & has figured it sticking on back.—

419 Aristolochia from structure cannot be impreg. without insects - 421 fd, many flies in with pollen on 423 thinks flies cannot

escape owing to smoothness of bottom of trap & from number, but Mem. Arum may be here introduced to show how then little

insects can carry pollen.

Tussilago or Petasites vulgaris

type if grows disc hermaphrodite say female (some plants all female & so Senecio vulgaris)  (Pistil acts in brushing out pollen but has no stigma.

Antennaria always dioicous.—

Pimpinella magna — tends to have some exclusively male

Anthriscus sylvestris say floret with imperfect stigma & no stamens; thinks never sets seeds.—

P[illeg] see Babington for seeds on orchids & Viola

Picris = Helminthia

Tabulate how many Dichogamous & species

It would be worth while to cross Vinca to see if it would then produce seeds-

Strong case of Dichogamy in Paridaceae in Gaertner Bastard p. 65

Gaertner Bastard p. 537 a most weak argument against final cause of Honey to attract insects.

"                    "       586 speaks of it as general law that male & female organs are ready at same time -at p. 659 contradicted

Gaertners Beiträge must be studied all about Honey p. 75-92

p. 242 attributes all C. C. Sprengel facts to praecosity of pistil.—

Kolreuter 3d Fort p127 on movement of pistil to anthers in Compositae & on other cases of movement: this latter subject largely described by Gaertner in Beitrage –

March 19. 59. Lathraea squamaria visited by Bombus - right at top pistil bends slightly over towards passages, projecting & apparently ready, but pollen not shed Yet pollen on stigma for Bee - In lower (& earlier) flower pollen shedding, so that here female organs apparently ready first.

Only subjects not on crossing [are given below]

(Q)

(Good case of mechanical action comparable to action of pollen on head - for no use in seeds being different)

369 Differences in shape of seed in Disc & centre of Composit.

374 do - (this must be a correlation of structure, & perhaps owing to insects)

Figures of 3 kinds from same flower

371 On stigma in Compositae bringing out Pollen - Rudimentary organ useful

383 do - otherwise rudimentary – very curious case

Watch Acacia - Put pollen of own & other var. of Cabbage & shut up flowers

Lobelia – Crucianella

Examine next spring

Arnica to see how far passage closed X

Aristolochia whether insects can escape

Honey in night in Orchis morio

Impregnation of Ophys & seeding of try crossing & see whether some seed

Heartease - whether night insects do the work

Castrate common Pea, several & impregnate several & see if Bees go for pollen or Honey, as perhaps they wd not visit pollen-less Peas.-

Arum about filament about insects escaping

Fraxinella if my account accurate
