The Botanical Instinct 



mine is intelligence, which gropes, seeks, goes 

 astray, finds its way again and ends by soar- 

 ing with an incomparable flight. The Lari- 

 nus knows the flora of the thistles without 

 having learnt it; man knows the flora of the 

 world after long study. The domain of in- 

 stinct is a speck; that of inteUigence is the 

 universe.
