Milkwort — Polygala diadelphia notoctand & therefore not papilionaceous = wings standard & keel united into tube with kind of double shield over anthers.

[annotated sketch] standard, stigma, anthers, pistil, fringed wing or Keel, germen.

Stigma at rt. ∟ to style & separated from the true parcels of anthers by membranous prolongation of style. If nectar lies at foot of standard, bee's proboscis in entering (& partly by alighting on fringed wings or Keel) must scrape over anthers & pass directly in front of stigma, which lies against standard.—

Fumaria— Pistil & two bundle of stamens bend toward standard as in Pap. flowers & Keel (which consists of new cylinder) is open in front & allow organs to protrude, so that Bee would act, as in Pap. flowers. The bee, however, must claw the Keel as seems probable itself & not the wings, wh. have no tendency to open the Keel. (a)

wings united into one upright petal, like standard wh. two united & shield the upright keel.

1/2 Peloric Pelargonium both nectary unopen

+++ as the Bee visits either nectaries.— In the other Fumarias, although the arch is slit on both sides, pistil & stamens will readily escape only on the nectary side.—

(a) Smith calls standard upper lip & many united wings lower lip. (wh he says sometimes has nectary with honey like upper.— My Keel is formed of the alternate & similar lips united.— On gloomy day, watched long large beds of small white species saw nothing— perhaps rather late for many seed-pods formed. It is no argument Fumaria having nectary, for so has Heartease for Bees, coming to it— Watched another Purple species & saw no Bees = Shrewsbury saw there Humbles go to Fumaria glauca? a largish species ++— saw one two other on large fleshy red Fumaria.— (++ with mouth quite closed) In the red-fleshy Fumaria there are two nectaries; & it is beautiful to see that the alternate lips which forms the hood, (answering to the Keel of Pap. flowers) will readily slip off in front or back +++
