Heinsius saw the following in Holland (Bot. Jaarb. Dodonaea, Ghent, viii, 1896, 



PP- 63-5)-— 



2 hover-flies — Eristalis arbustorum Z. 5, and E. horticola Deg. }, a butterfly — 

 Pieris brassicae Z. 5, a short-tongued bee — Andrena carbonaria Z. 5 — freq., and 4 

 long-tongued bees — Podalirius acervorum Z. 5, Apis mellifica Z. 5, Bombus hortorum 

 Z. 5, and B. lapidarius Z. 5. 



H. de Vries (Ned. Kruidk. Arch., Nijmegen, v, 1877) observed Apis mellifica 

 Z. 5 : MacLeod records 5 hover-flies, a Muscid, and a Lepidopterid for Flanders (Bot. 

 Jaarb. Dodonaea, Ghent, vi, 1894, p. 207): and Schletterer noticed a ruby-wasp — 

 Arge cyanocrocea Forsi. — at Pola. 



235. S. Cheiranthus Mert. et Koch, y. montana DC. (=Brassica montana 

 DC). (MacLeod, ' Pyreneenbl.') — The claws of the yellow petals are so closely held 

 together by the sepals as to form a tube 9-1 1 mm. long. The nectar is therefore 

 only legitimately accessible to the thin proboscis of Lepidoptera. Two of the four 

 nectaries — the smaller ones — are always at the bases of the short stamens. The two 

 larger ones are at the bases of the long stamens, but they secrete no nectar and (as in 

 the case of Diplotaxis muralis) may be reached from without by clefts between the 

 sepals. The smaller nectaries, on the other hand, are functional, and can only 

 be reached by two narrow passages at the sides of the stigma. When the thin 

 proboscis of an insect is introduced, it first touches the anthers of the four long
