[28]
Acacia lophantha young bush 9 inch high
May 28 1878 [illeg]
When asleep the pinnæ approach each other, as & leaflets come into contact & point towards apex of leaf.—
Main petiole I believe rises 3°, perhaps error of observation—
Shook whole bush for 1' no effect except perhaps that petiole rose 3°.
