p 456. — From Hooker London J of Botany no 73.

Mr W. Wilson Remarks on the pollen collection of Campanula the pollen is emitted from Anthers, when the flower is just opening.

"As the flower advances, the style is elongated to nearly twice its original length, before the branches of the stigma begin to roll backwards - impregnation "can happen only after the branches of the stigma are separated from mutual contact. These branches came ultimately into contact with pollen, but some time after the shedding of the pollen.
