Flower stalk from which two young plants are growing. the experiment (Dec. 3) the parent leaf was still green, the leaf- lets of the young plant were like those of the adult, except in size, and the internodes of the stem were proportionately long, but no root had developed. At the end of four months (Jan. 3) a root was observed which had grown laterally from the base of the stem, while the parent leaf had entirely decayed. This was repeated with four leaves with practically the same results. A portion of a leaf was able to produce a new plant as readily as an entire leaf Leaves placed with the gland-bearing surface downward in the moist chamber did not produce buds, and all the buds which appeared upon leaves still attached to a plant were upon the upper or ventral side ol the 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 New York Botanical Garden.
