From E. J. Johnston 16 March 1875
Summary
Reports an Araujia in Portugal that captures various insects on the horns of its stigma. Relates this to another asclepiad, Apocynum, which also captures insects. Is this "insectivory" or insect fertilisation?

From E. J. Johnston 24 May 1875
Summary
The insect-capturing Araujia has been forwarded from Portugal.
He discovers Apocynum is not in the same family, and he has misquoted [John Leonard Knapp’s Journal of a naturalist (1829)]; Apocynum captures by stamens, not stigma.
Sends seeds of Portuguese Drosera.
