I suspect good generalisation, that wherever there is nectary on one point alone of circle of corolla, pistil, (if it bends.) bends or at least stigmatic end towards that point. Leguminosae. Fraxinella, Fumaria

How in Melampyrum? Digitalis, Anthurium &c

See to this in all flowers.

In Polygala stigma path are rectangle to any point, where Bees could enter corolla & I know Bees do without it.

gladiolus (orange) must hang on lower side of flower, not off base, but when filaments attached, pistil when mature bends down to the side.

Rhododendron obeys law

viola tricolor.

Horse chesnut

Delphinium grandiflora at in passage to nectary

[50v]

In the greenhouse Balsam, there is spur-nectary on lower side of flower, & anther and pistil bend downward into gangway.

Tropæolum canariense, when pollen shed & stigma probably ready, the whole pistil is always slightly bent up to gangway.
