45 . Wahlenbergia hederaeea Rchb. [ 4 , p. 268.] The 
flower faces vertically upwards. The tubular-campanulate 
corolla is about to mm. deep and 3 or 4 mm. wide at the 
mouth. The corolla is pale blue, veined with deep blue, and 
there is no scent. The stamens do not possess the broad flat 
base and narrow filament characteristic of Campanula , but 
widen gradually downwards, and are hairy below. The 
mechanism is much the same as in Campanula , but only 
the anthers wither after the pollen is shed upon the style ; 
the filaments remain standing up as a cage over the honey. 
The flower has a chance of cross-fertilization and is occasionally 
visited, but the stigmas always ultimately bend so far back 
that they touch the pollen on their own style and so effect 
autogamy. 
Visitors. Diptera. Muscidae : (1 and 2) two species, unnamed, s. h.; 
one was just large enough to touch the style as it entered. Thysan- 
optera : (3) Thrips sp. very ab. s. h. Hemiptera : (4) One species, 
creeping about in the flowers. 
DlPSACEAE : 46 . Scabiosa succisa L. [See No. 9 , Au- 
chencairn, and No. 30 , Scarborough.] Abundant up to 
1,200 feet (reaches a height of 1,640), and largely visited.
