MOVEMENTS OF SOME COMMON PLANTS

The growth of the following plants is here speeded up from 40 to 1 trillion: sunflower, garden pea, mushroom, scarlet bean, cucumber, blood root, night-blooming cereus and marsh mallow. Directed reactions in a field of force (tropisms) are studied first; then higher reactions including reflexes and chains of reflexes lead up to a review of nervous system activity. Such reactions as geotropism, hydrotropism, stereotropism, galvanotropism, and rheotropism are studied.
