1.In most flowers belonging to other orders the stigma secretes a little viscid matter.

3.When an insect visits a flower of this kind, it rubs off some of the viscid matter, and thus at the same time drags away some of the pollen-grains.

4.But as the excretion is extremely viscid, it is no doubt a convenience to the aphides to have it removed; therefore probably they do not excrete solely for the good of the ants.

5.Now, in certain orchids similar viscid matter is secreted, but in much larger quantities by one alone of the three stigmas; and this stigma, perhaps in consequence of the copious secretion, is rendered sterile.

现在， 在某兰花中分泌出类似的物质， 但数量要多得多， 仅由三个柱头中的个分泌；这种耻辱， 也许是由于大量分泌物的结果， 变得不育了。机翻

6.The passage is narrow, and is roofed over by the column, so that a bee, in forcing its way out, first rubs its back against the viscid stigma and then against the viscid glands of the pollen-masses.

通道很窄，被柱子盖住， 所以蜜蜂在强行出路时， 首先用背部摩擦柱头， 然后摩擦花粉的腺体。机翻

7.With respect to the second chief peculiarity, namely, the little mass of viscid matter attached to the end of the caudicle, a long series of gradations can be specified, each of plain service to the plant.

关于第二个主要特征， 即附着在茎端的少量物质，可以指定长串等级， 每个等级都对植物有明显的作用。机翻
