THE EFFECTS OF HEAT ON THE LEAVES.
LES EFFETS DE LA CHALEUR SUR LES FEUILLES.
Nature of the experiments—Effects of boiling water—Warm water causes rapid inflection—
Nature des expériences — Effets de l'eau bouillante — L'eau chaude provoque une inflexion rapide —
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—
L'eau à une température plus élevée ne provoque pas d'inflexion immédiate, mais ne tue pas les feuilles, comme le montre leur ré-expansion ultérieure et l'agrégation du protoplasme —
A still higher temperature kills the leaves and coagulates the albuminous contents of the glands.
Une température encore plus élevée tue les feuilles et coagule le contenu albumineux des glandes.
