Warming found the variety (b) prostata Hornem. to be gynodioecious with 

 protandrous hermaphrodite flowers in Iceland and Greenland. In consequence of 

 the smallness of the flower the stigma and anthers are so close together that the 

 possibility of self-pollination is increased. The plants in Iceland possess considerably 

 longer stamens and style than those in Greenland. The various female flowers on 

 one plant often present every degree of reduction of the stamens. 



Schulz (' Beitrage/ I, p. 83) in describing the variety (c) angustifolius Pars, as 

 a species says it is gynodioecious, and also, more frequently, gynomonoecious. All 

 degrees of reduction of the filaments may sometimes be found on the same plant. 



The variety (d) pannomcus All. is also described as a species by Schulz (op. cit., 

 II, pp. 1 30-1), who states it to be gynodioecious or rarely gynomonoecious in the South 

 Tyrol and North Italy. The size of the flowers is very variable. Insect-visits are 

 numerous. 



Visitors. Schletterer and von Dalla Torre record the bee Melecta armata Pz. 

 for the Tyrol. 



2281. T. dalmaticus Freyn. This is perhaps only a variety of T. Serpyllum.

2282. T. vulgaris L. (Sprengel, 'Entd. Geh.' pp. 310-11; Herm. Muller, 

 'Fertilisation,' pp. 474-5; Schulz, 'Beitrage,' II, p. 195; Kirchner, 'Flora v. 

 Stuttgart,' p. 613 ; Knuth, ' Bloemenbiol. Bijdragen.') This species is gynodioecious, 

 with protandrous hermaphrodite flowers like those of T. Serpyllum. The female 

 flowers set almost twice as many fruits as the hermaphrodite ones. On cultivated 

 plants at Halle Schulz observed about 20 % female flowers. 



Visitors. The following were recorded by the observers, and for the localities 

 stated.
