Text Appearing Before Image:
cross-fertil-izing it; but as in this Violet the spur membrane is so closelyfitted to the lever that it cannot work, it shows how whollyimaginary these speculations are. Color is supposed to be a provision of nature to attract insects to flowers for this very purpose of cross-fertilization, But the student will not fail to notice that bees at least very rarely visit this Violet, though in color it is perhajDS one of the showiest of all the subjects of the floral kingdom. Rich ground, if par. tially shaded, grows the plant to great j^erfection, and we may often see large tracts of such land, in old, abandoned gardens, as near a perfect Sea of blue as it is possible to cxjoect from any flower. Explanation of the Plate. — i. The plant, sh(3wing its short, thick, and somewhat fleshyrootstock. — 2. A flower divested of petals, showing the heel-like projection which pro-ceeds from two of the stamens and fills the spur of the corolla. — 3. Varieties of coloroccasionally found. Plate 6.
