The native flowers and ferns of the United States in their botanical, horticultural and popular aspects . the motion -wasfound to be so slow that the plates of the stigma never closedentirely before the bee had left the flower.

We give an outline drawing of such a section in Fig. construction of these placentiE varies in the several speciesbelono-ino- to the s:enus Mimuhis, but it is always worth exam^-ining. The geographical range of James Monkey-Flower is given inDr. Grays Synoptical Flora of North America as extendingfrom Illinois to upper Michigan and Minnesota, and west tothe Rocky Mountains in Montana, and then south to NewMexico and Arizona. Explanation of the Plate. — i. A young and vigorous plant at its first flowering. — 2. Aseed-bearing branchlet late in the season. — 3 A young seed-vessel, with the style and itsdivided stigma. — 4.
