If the lupine is not at hand or convenient, there are many other forms of flowers much like it which are similar traps, altho they may differ in some points, such as having nectar, or in protruding the Stamens with the pollen instead of pushing the pollen out of a cone and in other ways. Such flowers are those of the locust tree, peas, beans, clovers of the various Fig. so. (a) a flower of the Petuuia, showing its . funnel-shaped corolla ending in a long: tube, at the bot- kmds, plants belonging tom of which is the nectar, (b) head of a sphinx moth, which sometimes visits the Petunia. Its tongue is partly to the family known as uncoiled. This it straightens out and inserts into the _ . long tube of the flower. the Jjegummosce, a very numerous family. One rather common member is excellent for observation. This is the "broom" and is cultivated for its showy orange yellow bloom. The detail given above in the study of a lupine seems, on read" ing it, to be too difficult for younger classes. But it will not be found so in the actual work. Of course it will take some care and time, but it will be done with enthusiasm, and when it is thus well done it gives the class a clearer insight into this bit of nature and a drill in finding out her waj'S that are vastly more valuable.
