These are enumerated A large number of cases are given by Delpino in the Bulletino Entomologico Anno VI. p 1874. To these cases may be added those given in my text, as well as the excretion of saccharine matter from the calyx of two species of Iris, and from the bracteæ of certain Orchideæ: see Kurr, Bedeutung der Nektarien 1833. p. 25, 28. Belt also refers (Nicaragua. p. 224) to a similar excretion by many epiphytal orchids and passion-flowers. Mr. Rodgers has seen much nectar secreted from the bases of the flower-peduncles of Vanilla. Link says that the only example of a hypopetalous nectary known to him is externally at the base of the flowers of Chironia decussata: see Reports on Botany, Ray Socty 1846 p. 355.
