Mimosa pudica —continued.
No. of Experi- ment. |
Result. |
11 | Leaf not yet reached by the sunshine .—Very slow and partial action in the pinnules of the distal half of the pinna, and in one on one side of the middle of the proximal half; no further result. |
12 | Leaf not yet reached by the sunshine; section involving the tip of the secondary petiole. —Rapid, progressive action in the pinnules of the cut pinna, followed by immediate action in the primary pulvinus; no further result. |
13 | Leaf and section as in No. 12 .—Immediate action of about six pairs of distal pin- nules and of the primary pulvinus; pause; very slow, progressive action in the other pinnules of the distal half of the cut pinna; no further result. |
14 | Leaf not yet reached by the sunshine; section involving tips of distal pinnules only .—Very slow and partial action in the pinnules of the distal third of the cut pinna, and in some pinnules on one side at the base; no further result. |
15 | Leaf not yet reached by the sunshine; section involving the tip of the secondary petiole. —Imperfect action in all the pinnules of the cut pinna; no further result. |
16 | Leaf in full sunshine; section involving tips of pinnules only .—Spreading action in the pinnules of the cut pinna; action in the primary pulvinus; complete action in the pinnules of the other pinnæ; no further result. |
17 | Leaf in full sunshine; section involving tip of secondary petiole .—Action in the pinnules of the cut pinna; pause; action in the secondary and primary pul- vini; complete action in the remaining pinn; action in the primary pulvi- nus of the first leaf above. |
18 | Leaf and section as in No. 17 .—Spreading action in the pinnules of the cut pinna; action in the primary pulvinus; complete action in the other pinnæ; no further result. |
19 | Leaf in full sunshine; section involving pinnules only .—Spreading action in the pinnules of the cut pinna; action in the primary pulvinus; complete action in the remaining pinnæ; nothing more. |
20 | Leaf and section as in. No. 17 .—Spreading action in the pinnules of the cut pinna; pause; action in the primary pulvinus; complete action in the other pinnæ; no further result. |
21 | Leaf and section as in No. 17 .—Spreading action in the pinnules of the cut pinna; pause; action in the primary pulvinus; complete action in the other pinnæ; no further result. |
