Melilotus officinalis
Nutation of stem
Oct. 25 Plant rather old — short with very short internodes longitudinal bristle affixed to upper inter node with mark behind. See tracing — certainly nutates a little.— After 1° fresh tracing made, but the irregular figure was so small cd not be copied or even clearly traced on glass.— The tracing on vertical glass implies that tip of step bowed towards & from glass & laterally.— Another shoot also nutated slightly.—
