The internal energy, when sufficiently great, may thus 

 hasten the recovery of the organ from the effect of 

 stimulus. 



This increased internal energy may also reduce the am- 

 plitude, culminating in the total abolition of mechanical 

 response, as seen in over-turgid Mimosa, or in Attocarpus 

 during the rains.
