with hairs which point upwards. That may
look hike a trivial matter to notice, but we
shall find later that neither the existence
nor the trend of these minute hairs is with
out significance. The style ends IN 4 simple
stigma.
Surrounding the pistil we see ten stamens,

wall at tie base Of the standard makes the
complete protection of the nectary, already
mentioned. In the outer part Of then length
the moments are separate and each bears
an anther but now W. come to a remark
able circumstance, there arc two forms of
anthers, five long and five rounded. They
alternate, and each set has its own history,
Before the flower opens, the five long anthers
are pushed up by the growth Of their fila
merts into The box formed by the keel and
close to the hairy style. There they dis
charge their pollen, their fiIaments then
shrink and the empty anthor cases are drawn
dowrwards. Then comes the turn Of the
other set, they are now pushed up by the
growth of their hlaments and, like their pre-
decessors, discharge then pollen into the
same space inside the keel The result is
that by the time this second discharge has
taken place the box formed by the keel IS
closely packed with polleE, and the flower
Is now ready for business. 1t opens up, dis

insect finds part Of what he wants;
