An examination of the curves in figure 5 will give a graphic concep- tion of the comparative behavior of the five species in Set A, on three non-consecutive days, with progressively increasing evaporation. The curves for the five plants are such as to reveal the dominant influence of evaporation rate in controlling the transpiration. The water loss of Asplenium alatum tended to exceed one-tenth of the evaporation, area for area, throughout the three days, but exceeded it the least on the day possessing the highest evap
