26-ix-09), Catopsilia crocale, Cramer (Jalgaon, 26-ix-09), Terias 

 sp. (Jalgaon, 26-ix-09). 



Sedum rosulatum, Edgew., was observed by Dr. N. 

 Annandale at Simla on 16-V-09, and he has been so good as to 

 communicate to me the following list of visitors taken on the 



flowers : 



DIPTERA. Bombylidae. Anthrena himalayensis , Brunetti ; 

 .4. aperta, Walker ; Usia sedophila, Brunetti ; U. marginata, 

 Brunetti ; Sepsinab. Sepsis cynipsea, L. ; S. fulvolateralis, 

 Brunetti; 5. bicolor, Wiedemann- 



Pentapanax Leschenaultii, Seem., was seen to be visited 

 by numerous individuals of Apis at Ripshing Showing in the 

 Abor Hills (3-iii-12). 



Vanquiera spinosa, Roxb., was visited by Apis indica at 

 Pagnat, south of Amherst (l2»iii-08).

Evolvulus nummularioides, Linn., is a simple upwardly 

 directed flower, which opens about dawn and closes before 

 midday. There is no visible honey ; but Apis florea is a con- 

 stant visitor for pollen through May, June and September, and 

 perhaps in other months in Calcutta. Self-pollination is not 

 improbable as the anthers dehisce just after the opening of the 

 flower and the stigmas lie among them with no constant relative 



positions. 



Heliotropium indicum, Linn., was seen to be visited by a 

 butterfly (Calcutta, 3-viii-01). 



Cynoglossum micranthum, Desf., was seen to be visited 

 by a Syrphid at Bhamo (2-ii-04). 



Cynoglossum lanceolatum, Forsk., was seen to be abun- 

 dantly visited by a butterfly of the genus Lycaena and by a 

 Vespid at Barnes Junction, Northern Bengal (18-viii-Q9). 



Gentiana eapitata, Ham., var. strobiliformis, C. B. Clarke, 

 was found to be cleistogamic on Phallut, Sikkim Himalaya, 

 (20-V-09).
