Droseraceae, concluding remarks on, 355 --, their sensitiveness compared with that of animals, 366.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

The six genera of the Droseraceae very probably inherited this power from a common progenitor, but this cannot apply to.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

Plants were chosen for trial at hazard, with the exception of two species of saxifrage, which were selected from belonging to a family allied to the Droseraceae.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

Little light can be thrown on the gradual acquirement of the third remarkable character possessed by the more highly developed genera of the Droseraceae, namely the power of movement when excited.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

On the whole we may conclude that the acquirement of a high degree of sensitiveness and of the power of movement by certain genera of the Droseraceae presents no greater difficulty than that presented by the similar but feebler powers of a multitude of other plants.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

The three most remarkable characters possessed by the several members of the Droseraceae consist in the leaves of some having the power of movement when excited, in their glands secreting a fluid which digests animal matter, and in their absorption of the digested matter.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

Whatever their function may be, they are not necessary for the secretion of a digestive fluid, or for absorption, or for the communication of a motor impulse to other parts of the leaf, as we may infer from the structure of the glands in some other genera of the Droseraceae.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

We shall hereafter see, when we treat of Dionaea, that this same conclusion, namely that the motor impulse is not transmitted by the fibro-vascular bundles, is plainly confirmed; and Prof. Cohn has come to the same conclusion with respect to Aldrovanda -- both members of the Droseraceae.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

With the Droseraceae the secretion of a viscid fluid by the glands does not prevent their absorbing; so that the glands of other plants might excrete superfluous matter, or secrete an odoriferous fluid as a protection against the attacks of insects, or for any other purpose, and yet have the power of absorbing.    From Wordnik.com.  [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
