Curious Sense That p1an,. u.xe

Francis Darwin, speaking before the members of the British association at Glasgow, said that pine tree grows straight upward because it possesses a gravitation sense. A plant which grows in curve in order to assume the position best suited to it's needs also exhibits a perception of gravitation. Some flower stalks are very curiously guided by the gravitation sense. The common narcissus is m example. At first there is straight shaft piercing the ground with its compact pointed fower-bud. "But as the flower opens the stalk bends close to the top and brings the fiower-tube into roughly horizontal position, where it shows off its brightly colored crown to the in- sects that visit it. The flowers are guid- ed to the right position by the gravita- tion sense. and they increase or dimin. ish the angular bend in their stalk till the right position is attained" d."-sci- ences
