Tracing much magnified, re- duced to half of original size. Plant illuminated feebly from above. As -we hap- Fig. 75. (7.) Ruhus idceus (hybrid) (Eosacese, Fam. 76).- pened to have a young plant, 11 inches in height and growing vigorously, which had been raised from a cross between the raspberry {Ruhus idceus) and a North American Eubus, it was observed in the usual manner. During the morning of March 14th the stem almost completed a circle, and then moved far to the right. At 4 it reversed its course, and now a fresh tracing was begun, which was con- tinued during 40^ h., and is given in Fig. 74. We here have well-marked circumnutation. (8.) Deutzia gracilis (SaxifrageiE, Pam. 77).—A shoot on a bush about 18 inches in height was observed. The bead changed its course greatly eleven j^^^ times in the course of 10 h. 30 m. (Fig. 75), and there could be no doubt about the circumnutation of the stem. (9.) Fuchsia (greenhouse van., with large flowers, probably a hybrid) (Ona^ grariesB, Fam. 100).—A young plant, 15 inches in height, was observed during nearly 48 gniciU<: circumnu- tation of stem, Icept in daricness, traced on hori- zontal glass, from to 7 March 20th. Movement of bead origin- ally magnified about 20 times, here reduced to half scale. Tha.
