As to the sense of smell, however, insects are very keen. Fragrant flowers which are inconspicuous are visited much more than are showy ones whichhavenoodor. Night- flying moths locate flowers readily by their fragrance, and there are some flowers which open and give out their fragrance only at night; the moonflower and night-blooming cereus are famous for this. There is reason to believe that many insects detect odors which we are quite unable to per- ceive. The skunk cabbage and the carrion-flower have decidedly disagreeable odors. These odors, hke those of decaying flesh, are at- tractive to flies. c. Examples. — In their relation to insects there is a general difference between flowers with actinomorphic (regular) corollas and those with zygomorphic (irregular) ones (see page 287). The former generally have a con- siderable variety of insect visitors, while the visitors of the latter are more limited as to kinds. It is among zygomorphic flowers that we find those highly speciahzed forms which make pollination possible by certain insects only. Flowers with regular corollas and spreading perianths, like buttercups or wild roses or apple blossoms, are open to all comers. Their pollen and their nectar may be Fig. 132. — A flower of Petunia visited by a hawk moth. Note the long corolla tube of the flower, and the long mouth part of the insect..
