The first roots, while at first positively heliotropic, and at first produced at right angles to the stem, shortly afterwards curved in under the stem and away from the light. The fact that at the base of each new bud roots appeared might indicate that the localization described would be of use to the plant, especially since under ideal conditions, the stem tends to become brittle, and that there is a tendency for the stem to die away beneath the branches, although it should be remembered that the habitat of this particular form—in slow streams and ponds—is such as would preclude the probability of any constant strain making these properties Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Binghamton, N.
