FLOWER DECOYS. 



Cue of our native orcliiJs, Listeria ova- 

 ta, has a flower wliicli in shape resem- 

 bles a species of beetle by which it is 

 fertilized. Perhaps in the case the in- 

 sect mimics the flower, as certainly hap- 

 pens with a pink colored Mantis in 

 Java, which so exactly resembles a pink 

 orchid that butterflies are attracted to 

 it in mistake. The insect is carnivorous, 

 and lies in wait for its prey, which is 

 easily secured by the help of this strange 

 disguise. Mutual resemblances of this 

 description are rather characteristic of 

 the orchidece. From their resemblance, 

 real or fanciful, to butterflies, moths, 

 bees, spiders, etc., various species of 

 habernaria, neotinea, and ophrys derive 

 their names — the butterfly, spider, bee, 

 and fly orchises. Parnassia palustris, 

 one of the saxifrages, has five fan-like 

 scales alternating with the stamens; the 

 margins of the scales are fringed with 

 hair-like processes, and each hair is 

 capped with what appears to be a drop 

 of honey. These are really hard dry 

 knobs, but so much do they resemble 

 drops of honey that fUes lick them be- 

 fore discovering the imposture. The in- 

 tention of these sham nectar drops may 

 either be to decoy unprofitable guests 

 from the real nectar, of which a limited 

 supply is produced in the hollow of each 

 scale, or to advertise it for the benefit 

 of the more intelligent \asitors. Some- 

 what analogous to these pseudo nectaries 

 are the greenish swellings which arise 

 on the veins of the petals of eremurns. 

 These little swellings present a striking 

 resemblance to aphides, or plant lice, 

 and Kerner states that a fly accustomed 

 to hunt after aphides pierces and sucks 

 the swellings, apparently mistaking them 

 for the insects.— "Knowledge." 



Eacine, Wis. — The board of education 

 has passed a rule forbidding the presen- 

 tation of flowers to the high school grad- 

 uates. It is likely the florists will hola 

 a meeting to devise plans to prevent what 

 they consider a "boycott" of their busi- 

 ness. 



Ann Arbor, Mich. — A project is on 

 foot to convert Fetch Park and adjoin- 

 ing land into an important botanic gar- 

 den under control of the state university. 



Portland, Ore. — The annual exhibition 

 of the Portland Boso Society was held 

 June 18 and 19. A floral parade was a 

 leading feature.
