ANGR^CUM. 



his own words. " If the Angrsecum in its native forests secretes more 

 nectar than the vigorous plants in our hothouses, so that the nectary- 

 becomes filled, small moths might obtain their share, but they would 

 not benefit the plant. The pollinia would not be withdrawn till some 

 huge moth with a wonderful long proboscis tried to drain the last drop. 

 If such great moths were to become extinct in Madagascar, assuredly 

 the Angraecum would become extinct also. On the other hand, as the 

 nectar, at least in the lower part of the nectary (spur) is stored safe 

 from depredation by other insects, the extinction of the Angraecum would 

 probably be a serious loss to those moths."*
