THE EFFECTS OF HEAT ON THE LEAVES.

热对叶片的影响。

Nature of the experiments—Effects of boiling water—Warm water causes rapid inflection—

实验的性质——沸水的影响——温水导致快速内曲——

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—

较高温度的水不会引起立即的内曲,但也不会杀死叶片,这可由叶片随后的再次展开以及原生质的聚集得到证明——

A still higher temperature kills the leaves and coagulates the albuminous contents of the glands.

更高的温度会杀死叶片,并使腺体中的蛋白质内容物凝固。
