	Genus Angraecum - Angraecum Encyclopedia
		In the case of Angraecum sesquipedale, a species from Madagascar, on observing the 30cm spur in the lip, Charles Darwin theorised that, since the nectar was at the bottom of the spur, a pollinator must exist with a tongue at least that long.
		Pollination is insured by moths that have a trump that is adapted to the length of the flowers' spur.
		Habitat: This is difficult to generalize, as the plants range from dwarf to quite large, and from upright, as in A. sesquipedale and Angraecum compactum, to trailing, as in Angraecum scottianum.

		The fact that anglerfish press a fin spine into service as a lure reflects the jury-rigged, parts-available principle that made the panda's thumb and the orchid's labellum speak so strongly for evolution (see the first essay of this trilogy).
		But Darwinians must do more than demonstrate evolution; they must defend^ the basic mechanism of random variation and natural selection as the primary cause of evolutionary change.
