Abstract
In Professor Sachs’ latest publication the following remarkable passage occurs : “Every plant, however highly organised, is fundamentally a protoplasmic body forming a connected whole, which as it grows on, is externally clothed by a cell membrane, and internally traversed by innumerable transverse and longitudinal walls.” The above statement, both as being the outcome of pure physiological thought, and invested as it is with the authority of so distinguished a botanist, cannot fail to be very striking, on account of its forcible suggestiveness, and any observations which demonstrate an actual continuity in organs of large extent, must be of interest to show the truth of Sachs’ remarks in a sense somewhat more literal than his own.
