How Plants See.

An interesting theory of the mech
anism by which the direction of Incl
dent light is perceived by plants has
been put forward by G.. Haberlands. a
German botanist. He believes that
the epidermic cells are, so to speak,
the eyes of the plant. Thus, accord
ing to his view. when light strikes a
leaf at right angles to the surface II
results from the plano-convex form Of
the epidermic cells, that the inner
wall of each cell is illuminated more
brightly in the center than at the peri
phery. This makes ii possible for the
leaf to orientate itself in regard TO
light Thus, suppose the plant to be
moved so that the light now strikes
the leaf obliquely, the bright patches
of light on the inner cell walls will no
longer be central This change may
be believed to constitute stimulus
calling forth a curvature of the leaf
stalk by which the leaf is brought
again to it's normal position at right
angles to the incident light. Thus
the leaf moves when the bright patch
is not central and comes to rest when
each of its epidermic cells Is centrally
Illuminated.
