Jun 25' 1878
Frank says that Sachs believes that one use of shutting of leaves Hail. like Eucalyptus & Delpino & Queensland case. — Mimosa put out in garden during heavy severe Hail-storm quite uninjured though many other plants killed & great injury done. — The leaves became flaccid when depressed & this checks injury
Certainly Hail very common & violent in Australia
