young, may be seen to bend to one side and
to travel slowly round towards all points of
the compass, moving, like the hands of a
(14) watch with the sun. The movement very
soon acquires its full (15) ordinary velocity.
From seven observations made during
August on shoots proceeding from a plant
which had been cut down, and on another
plant during (16) April the average rate
during hot weather and during the day is 2
hrs. 8 m. for each revolution; and none of
the revolutions varied much from this rate.
The revolving movement (17) continued as
long as the plant continues to grow; but each
separate internode, as it becomes old, ceases
to move.

To ascertain more precisely what amount of


movement each internode underwent, I kept
a potted plant, (18) during the night and day,
in a well-warmed room to which I was
confined by illness. A long shoot projected
beyond the upper end of the supporting
stick, and (19) is steadily revolving. I then
took a longer stick and (20) had tied up the
shoot, so that only a very young internode,
1¾ of an inch in length, was left free. This
was so nearly upright that its revolution
could not be easily observed. (21) However,
it certainly moved, and the side of the (22)
internode, which was at one time convex
became concave, which, as we shall
hereafter see, is a sure sign of the revolving
movement.
