How a Plant Protects Itself From Sheep
Vegetable Ingenuity.
The subterranean clover has been
driven by its numerous enemies to take
refuge at last in a very remarkable and
almost unique mode of protecting its
offspring. This particular kind of
clover affects smooth and close-cropped
hillsides where the sheep nibble down
the grass and other heritage almost as
fast as it springs up again.
Now. clover seeds resemble their al
lies of the pea and bean tribe in being
exceedingly rich in starch and other
valuable foodstuffs- Hence, they are
much sought after by the inquiring
sheep, which eat them off wherever
found, as exceptionally nutritious and
dainty morsels- Under these circum-
stances, the subterranean clover has
learnt to produce small heads of bloom,
pressed close to the ground. in which
only the outer flowers are perfect and
fertile, while the inner ones are trans
formed into tiny, wriggling corkscrews.
As soon as the fertile flowers have be-
gun to set their seed, by the kind aid OF
the bees, the whole stem bends down
ward, automatically, of its own accord;
the little corkscrews then worm their
way into the turf beneath: and the pods
ripen and mature in the actual soil it
self, where no prying eve can poke an
inquisitive nose to grub them up and
devour them.
Cases like this point in certain ways
to the absolute high-water mark OF
vegetable ingenuity: they go nearest OF
all in the plant-world to the similitude
of conscious animal intelligence.-Cin-
