Life Movements in Plants, Volume I

Transcriber’s notes :
In this transcription a black dotted underline indicates a hyperlink to a page, illustration or footnote; hyperlinks are also marked by aqua highlighting when the mouse pointer hovers over them. A red dashed underline indicates the presence of a concealed comment which, in the html version, can be revealed by hovering the mouse pointer over the underlined text. Page numbers are shown in the right margin. Footnotes are located at the end of the book.
The text contains typographic characters that will not necessarily display correctly with all viewing devices. If some of the characters look abnormal, first ensure that the device’s character encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8). The default font might also need to be changed to a Unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS, DejaVu, Segoe UI Symbol or FreeSerif.
Many of the illustrations in the book were of poor quality and a few had no visible useful information. Where possible, they have been enhanced to clarify the details. Alphabetic labels in the illustrations occasionally differ from those stated in the accompanying captions. Some illustrations have been relocated closer to the relevant text and the list of illustrations has been amended as necessary.
Discrepancies between the Table of Contents and headings in the body of the text are as in the original. Inconsistencies in the use of single and double quotation marks are as in the original; other punctuation anomalies have been corrected silently. Missing degree (°) symbols have been inserted where necessary.
Minor spelling inconsistencies are as in the original, e.g. tetanising/tetanizing, Das/Dass, but the following overt spelling errors have been corrected silently:
his —> this despressing —> depressing presistent —> persistent actic —> lactic excitabilitty —> excitability Zephyanthes —> Zephyranthes fal —> fall tranmission —> transmission substracting —> subtracting issue —> tissue conducing —> conducting ummasking —> unmasking be —> been end —> and flexture —> flexure tentanising —> tetanising anisotrophy —> anisotropy
