THE EFFECTS OF HEAT ON THE LEAVES.
GLI EFFETTI DEL CALORE SULLE FOGLIE.
Nature of the experiments—Effects of boiling water—Warm water causes rapid inflection— 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— A still higher temperature kills the leaves and coagulates the albuminous contents of the glands.
Natura degli esperimenti—Effetti dell'acqua bollente—L'acqua calda provoca una rapida inflessione— L'acqua a una temperatura più elevata non provoca un'inflessione immediata, ma non uccide le foglie, come dimostrato dalla loro successiva riesansione e dall'aggregazione del protoplasma— Una temperatura ancora più elevata uccide le foglie e coagula il contenuto albuminoso delle ghiandole.
