376 Scott Elliot . — On the Fertilisation of South 
Salvia africana, L. (Fig. 118.) 
The style stands in front of, or a little above, the extremity 
of the lower lip, and does not, so far as I could see, alter its 
position during the flowering. The lever-apparatus is of the 
ordinary type. Visitors : — Xylocopa cajfra , also Peritrichia 
capicola . — Wy nberg. 
Salvia stenophylla, Bth . 
There is a lever-motion of the stamens but it is not of a 
high type. The inner anther-lobes apparently even produce 
a little pollen, and the rotation is very slight, only sufficient to 
bring the outer anther-lobes in the direction of the straight line 
passing from the stigma down the corolla-tube. Visitors : — 
Pieris hellica and two other species of Lepidoptera. — Pretoria. 
Teucrium africanum, Thunb. 
Visited by Lepidoptera. — King William’s Town. 
Vitex Bojeri, Schauer (Fig. 119). 
The corolla is pink and covered externally with short 
hairs. The four anthers lying close together project con- 
siderably out of the corolla-tube while the stigma always lies 
behind them. The nectary is a small rim round the base of 
the ovary. — Fort Dauphin. 
Hepenthes madagascariensis, Poir. 
I found the pitchers in this species to be usually from a 
third to half full of the decomposing remains of insects. In 
almost every pitcher there are live maggots or worms, which 
I could not manage to preserve, apparently living on the 
remains. Amongst the insects I selected at least thirteen 
species of Coleoptera (a species of Hoplia being very 
abundant) ; ten species of Lepidoptera ; seven kinds of 
Hemiptera ; four species of Hymenoptera, of which one 
was a sand-wasp nearly an inch long ; twelve species of 
Diptera, including specially Tipulae, green flies, and house- 
flies ; two Grasshoppers ; two Dragon-flies ; and one spider. — 
Fort Dauphin.
