'Freke supposed that the cause of the closing of the leaves of the sensitive plant when touched was that it discharged 

 electricity, and he devised an experiment to illustrate this, in which a small tree was placed in a pot on a cake of resin 

 and then electrified. He found that the leaves stood erect, falling down as soon as the electricity was discharged by 

 touching the plant. He further conjectured that pollen was attracted from the stamen of one plant to the stigma of 

 another by electricity.'— D. N. B.
