It will be seen therefore, that in the majority of cases the 

 leaves are richest in soluble albumin excepting those of the 

 leguminous plants, which showed in three cases out of six more 

 of it in the roots. Further the roots of the pea, bean and clover, 

 Lathyrus palustris contain much more of it than those of other 

 plants, an interesting fact, as this shows the protein forming 

 influence of the Rhizobium leguminosarum, which exists in the 

 form of nodules upon the roots ; these nodules had not been 

 removed before pressing. A fact of interest is also the relatively 

 high content of albumin in the roots of Liniim ttsitatissimum, 

 and the exceptionally low content in the leaves of that plant. 

 The stalks generally contain less soluble albumin than the roots, 

 flowers and leaves ; only with cabbage the stalk contained a 

 little more than the root.
