1 The plants in this list are arranged somewhat in the order of the com- 

 plexity of their adaptations for insect pollination, the simplest first. It would 

 be well for each student to take up the study of the arrangements for the 

 utilization of insect visitors in several of the groups above, numbered with 

 Roman numerals. The teacher will find explanations of the adaptations in 

 the works cited by abbreviations at the right. Miill. stands for Miiller's Fer- 

 tilization 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. Consult also Weed's 

 Ten New England Blossoms.
