472 AN GIOSPERM AE— DICOTYLEDON ES 



insects (flies, beetles, bees) resort to the nectar secreted by the epigynous disk, and 

 consequently effect cross-pollination. 



Kerner says that the flowers exhale a delicate odour of nectar, but the plant as 

 a whole possesses a disagreeable, mouse-like smell. 



Visitors. — I have seen Apis and several other bees, hover-flies (3), Muscidae 

 (4), and the beetle Meligethes, in the North Frisian Islands.
