a little longer than the other four. The ovary had four cells. 
The style was straight, holding the stigma directly over the 
center of the flower. The calyx was normal, but there was a 
well developed pedicel 2 mm. long. The flower had a slight 
inclination toward the lower petal. 
The tube of the corolla is about 7 mm. long. The visitors 
consist mainly of bees. The plant is common, growing from 
one to two metres in height, and blooming from Aug. 4 to 
Sept. 22. On 7 days, between Aug. 7 and Sept. 2, I observed 
the following list: —

Plants eet from their normal habitat to the Berlin garden were 
found by Low (1. c.) to be visited by Coritus parumpunctatus Schill. and 
Lebirus biguttatus L. He also found L. rugosus visited by Apis mellijica, 
Bombus sp., Eristalis tenax, Syritta pipiens and Coritus parumpunctatus. 
Lophanthus scrophulariefolius Benth. — This species 
agrees essentially with the preceding. The anthers are 
purplish and the corolla purplish tinged. The tubes are 
about 6 mm. long. Aug. 3 the following visitors were 
noted: —

Nepeta Cataria L.—‘‘ Nat. from Eu.’’? — The Catnip is 
common along road-sides and in waste-places. The stamens
