143 MR. А. W. BENNETT ОМ THE GROWTH OF THE 
Specimen В, grown in a pot. 
In the second example, the evidence was still more conclusive that the growth of the 
peduncle is mainly basilar. On Feb. 26th, the flower-stalk, then an inch in length, was 
divided into two equal portions of 0:5 in. On the next day, when it had increased to 
1-1 in., the lowest zone of 0:1 in. was marked off separately. By 10 р.м. on Feb. 29th this 
lowest zone (C+D) had increased to 0-7 in., or by 600 per cent. of its original length, while 
the two uppermost zones were still respectively only 0:55 and 0:5 in. long. Тһе lowest 
zone was then again divided into two portions, the upper one being 0:5 and the lower 
0:2 in. long. By 10 р.м. on March 3rd the lengths of the four zones, commencing from 
the top, were 0:8, 0:8, 075, and 0°75 in., giving а total of 3'1 іп. At 10 р.м. on the 7th, 
the total length of 6:5 in. was distributed thus :—1:6, 1:5, 1:25, and 2:15 in. ; and at 10 А.М. 
on the 13th, when the final length of 8:2 inches had been attained, the measurements 
were respectively 2:2, 1:75, 1:5, and 2°75 in. The following is the complete table :—
