Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Insectivorous Plants Number of insects captured - Description of the leaves and their appendages or tentacles - Preliminary sketch of the action of the various parts, and of the manner in which insects are captured - Duration of the inflection of the tentacles - Nature of the secretion - Manner in which insects are carried to the centre of the leaf - Evidence that the glands have the power of absorption - Small size of the roots. During the summer of 1860, I was surprised by finding how large a number of insects were caught by the leaves of the common sun-dew (Drosera rotundifolia) on a heath in Sussex. I had heard that insects were thus caught, but knew nothing further on the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
