In Lupine, Bees frequent & seem to act, something like on Kidney Bean, they go to nectar at foot of upper petal standing on I saw Bee go to two species of Lupine, two wings, & when the Lupine flower is perfectly ripe & pollen abundant filaments & stamens all protrude there is a brush at end of stigma, which forces out from extremity pollen, or pollen comes out with anthers & stigma in slit — So I think they do in Broom & certainly when over-ripe & half withered— I saw Bees going to clover & once this happened.— And in common Beans it is wonderful (a) how the Humbles force down the wings most violently: in Beans the wings seem beautifully to protect sheath.

(a) In all these nectar seems to be at base of upper petal & the curvature are pistil, etc lies in gangway= In Lotus corniculatus saw Humble press down wings which ejects pollen from tip of sheath.— Also in Lathyrus pratensis yellow saw stigma project.—

In common Pea saw Humble so press down sheath, that stigma covered with pollen was pressed & rubbed along whole breast— (B) pressing either one or both of Pea's wings, stigma & mass of yellow pollen protrudes at sheath.— At last I saw Bee collecting pollen from sheath Keel of Lupine— Seen Bees on Vetches & several times on Beans
