This pollen may likewise be carried to another flower, and so on. Thus "cross-pollination,"orthetrans- fer of pollen from the anthers of one flower to the pistil of another, is accom- plished. Many flowers, notably the or- chids, have special modifications of struc- ture apparently developed for the purpose of securing cross-pollination by insects. and preventing self-pollination. The bodies of some insects also have corre- sponding adaptations which insure the cross-pollination of certain flowers which they are in the habit of visiting most fre- quently. This correlation between flowers and their insect visitors has been the sub- ject of extended " F. rtili-/:t- tion of Flow
