tubes 3-5 mm. and ligules 8-16 mm. long. The style grows through the 

 anther -cylinder, sweeping before it the pollen which adheres to its spinose 

 sweeping-hairs, for 6 mm., 2^ mm. of this being taken up by its branches. In 

 the second stage of anthesis these branches gradually diverge and bend back 

 until the stigmatic papillae touch the pollen clinging to the sweeping-hairs, so 

 that automatic self-pol- 

 lination must take place 

 if insect- visits fail. 



Linnaeus says that 

 the heads open at Upsala 

 about 6 a.m., and close 

 again about 5 p.m.
