[C14a]
In examining probosces with pollinia of O py Hab. Chlorantha, found quantities of spherical viscus pollen of some other plants is attached to proboscis— I have seen loose grains of pollen on pouch in O. pyramidalis—, & within nectary of O. morio.—
Proof that moths transport & drop pollen on other flowers.
