Abstract
It is reported that pollination in the orchid, Calypso bulbosa L. cannot be effected without the aid of bumblebees.Pollinia of the orchid adhere to the thorax of the bees in a manner that is difficult for the insect to remove and apparently remain on the insect for many days.Ten species of bumblebees with pollinia attached are recorded.An insect exclusion experiment indicates that Calypso is self-compatible.Orchid pollinia of other genera are reported on from some Mexican and Nepalese bees.Notes on Orchids.
