—continued.
No. of Experi- ment. |
Result. |
5 | Results as in the previous experiment. |
6 | No result. The axis was a dry, hard one. |
7 | Progressive, centrifugal action in nine leaves below. |
8 | A long pause; action in first leaf below. |
9 | Progressive, gradual, centripetal action in ten leaves below, i.e., along entire course of axis traceable. |
10 | Action in first leaf below; long pause; irregular action along entire course of axis traceable; some leaves acting, others situated at various points failing to act. |
11 | Very long pause; action in first leaf below. |
12 | Progressive action of five leaves situated at intervals along the axis. |
13 | Very long pause; action in the first leaf below. |
14 | Long pause; action in the first leaf below. |
15 | Successive action in the three upper leaves. |
16 | Irregular action along the axis as far as traceable. |
17 | Regular centripetal action along all of the axis traceable, including nine leaves. |
18 | Irregular action along all of the axis traceable. |
20 | Ditto ditto. |
21 | Very long pause; action in first inferior leaf |
22 | Very long pause; irregular, centripetal action along the axis. |
23 | Long pause; action of superior leaf. |
24 | Ditto ditto. |
25 | Long pause; regular centripetal action along the axis. |
26 | Pause, irregular, centripetal action along the axis. |
