212. Protection of Pollen from Rain. — Pollen is very gen- 
erally protected from being soaked and spoiled by rain or dew 
either by the natural position of the flower preventing rain 
from entering, as in the case with most gamopetalous, nodding 
flowers, or by changes in the position of the flower, and by its 
opening in sunny weather and closing at night or during 
tions at the right. Mill. stands for Miiller’s Fertilization of Flowers; Lubbock, 
for British Wild Flowers, Considered in Relation to Insects; Gray, for Gray’s 
Structural Botany ; and Newell, for Miss Newell’s Outlines of Lessons in Botany, 
Part II.
