ANGIOSPERMAE 
embryo is delayed until the stimulus of union with the second male 
nucleus (cf. Gymnospermae). 
The pollen-tube may enter by the micropyle or by the chalaza 
(p. 81 and cf. Chalazogamae). 
Parthenogenesis, or development of the ovum into an embryo 
without fertilisation, occurs in Antennaria, Alchemilla, &c., embryo 
formation by adventitious budding in Alchornea, Funkia, &c., apo- 
gamy (cf. Filicineae) in Balanophora. 
A. are divided into Mono- and Di-cotyledons (q.v. and see 
p. 125). See also Part I. and articles above quoted.

The most interesting sp. is A. sesquipedale Thou., the wax-flower. 
At the base of the labellum is an enormous spur, 12 to 14 inches 
long, at the bottom of which the honey is secreted. As Darwin 
observed (Orchids , p. 162, q.v.), this flr. must have a corresponding 
large insect, with a tongue of the same length, as its fertiliser. This 
idea was ridiculed at the time, but the moth has since been discovered. 
The flr. and moth afford an interesting example of mutual adaptation 
(cf Yucca, Ficus, &c.).
