THE EFFECTS OF HEAT ON THE LEAVES.
DIE AUSWIRKUNGEN VON HITZE AUF DIE BLÄTTER.
Nature of the experiments—Effects of boiling water—Warm water causes rapid inflection—
Art der Experimente — Auswirkungen von kochendem Wasser — Warmes Wasser bewirkt rasche Einwärtskrümmung —
Water at a higher temperature does not cause immediate inflection, but does not kill the leaves, as shown by their subsequent re-expansion and by the aggregation of the protoplasm—
Wasser bei einer höheren Temperatur bewirkt keine sofortige Einwärtskrümmung, tötet die Blätter jedoch nicht ab, wie ihre anschließende Wiederentfaltung und die Aggregation des Protoplasmas zeigen —
A still higher temperature kills the leaves and coagulates the albuminous contents of the glands.
Eine noch höhere Temperatur tötet die Blätter und koaguliert den eiweißhaltigen Inhalt der Drüsen.
