Fig, 5. Xylem from foliage side of the shoot 



Pig. 6. Xylem from flowering side of the shoot. Magnification 



exactly the same as in Fig. 5* 



the fiowering secondary axes on the other side. The result is not 

 contrary to expectation : yet it would be interesting to see if 

 an exactly similar condition could be produce*! by tb(j very early 

 defoliation of a shoot along one sirle, and through what length of 



stem.
