Pea Pollen on 2 leaves Drosera —
Stick with paper Heads
13' 7° 40' some inflection
14th 9° 30' Pollen-grains discoloured — many of them with [illeg] much shrunk, as in Pinguicula— some almost empty — in few cases pollen-tube emitted— in most of them apparently oil-globules— contents not so finely granular as in Pinguicula — The tentacles still clasped over them, with great aggregation— — The oil globules much larger than in the natural pollen
Looked again oil-globules wonderfully aggregated & content shrunk from walls — perhaps time may be cause
