Turtichead is very common in wet meadows, bogs, and ditches. The flowers of the plant are more odd and striking than pretty, and their common name IS fairly appropriate. The name "Che- lone" IS from the Greek, meaning tortoise. When a bumblebee lights on the stiff, elastic lower lip of the flower, its weight presses down the lip and an opening IS made through which the bee forces its way to the nectary. In so doing Its velvety back is abundantlv dusted with pollen from the heart-shaped anthersâthus the work of cross-fertiliz- ation is accomplished by bumblebees. Hairs prevent smaller msects from stealing the nectar. Group No. 29-PIantain Family. COMMON' PLANTAIN. Plantago major, (L).
