Oxalis rosea
I had thought sensitive Not sensitive
a hypocotyl, but not in a second instance.— Therefore I rubbed Hypocotyl— I find fixed thin pins so as to press against 3 Hypocotyls— & 3 other pins so as to press up & against lower surface of Cotyledon, but all without any certain effect— So I may say neither hypocotyl, nor cotyledons sensitive — say I tried because such great movement:. Also rubbed with pointed stick 2 Cots for 30" no effect— Also fastened on bits of cork on 3 Cots.
