terminology question

[Sharyn Fernandez]

Speaking of "terminology" - I saw the name of the "chemical" (ie type fo
sugar) that was supposed to be in the flowers that attract butterflies to
nectar  in an article I read in American Butterflies a few years ago. Does
anyone (Dr. G?) remember this "term" - it starts with "Q"... Thanks! -
