Abstract
A SHORT additional note on Corydalis claviculata may be of interest. A sprig placed in a glass of water and out of the way of insects continues to grow and to bear flowers and fruit with nearly as much regularity as if still rooted to its native bank. The flowers do not gape spontaneously; and, as most of the older ones that I have examined in a state of nature have their lips depressed, I think it certain evidence of the agency of insects, though I have not yet been so fortunate as to witness their operations. All the flowers that I have seen are of a greenish white, but dried specimens acquire the yellow tint described in systematic works, a faet which may help to throw light on the somewhat parallel behaviour of Fumaria pallidiflora.
