Publisher's Synopsis
The Power of Movement in Plants Volume 2 By Charles Darwin * See Mr. Vines' excellent discussion ('Arbeiten des Bot. Instituts in Würzburg, ' B. II. pp. 142, 143, 1878) on this intricate subject. Hofmeister's observations ('Jahreschrifte des Vereins für Vaterl. Naturkunde in Würtemberg, ' 1874, p. 211) on the curious movements of Spirogyra, a plant consisting of a single row of cells, are valuable in relation to this subject.
