The ridge or heel therefore acts rather differently from that of Cucurbita.

Flahault, it should be explained, was the discoverer of the curious peg in Cucurbita.

The watermelon, called here samangka (Cucurbita citrullus) is of very fine quality.

Hereafter analogous and more striking experiments with Pisum sativum and Cucurbita ovifera will be given.

The peg or heel in Cucurbita: see "Power of Movement in Plants" page 102.)

The flowers of the Cucurbita lagenaria are said to close when the sun shines upon them.

This movement of the radicle has been described in Brassica, Aesculus, Phaseolus, Vicia, Cucurbita, Quercus and Zea.

Nyctanthes and others are only fragrant in the night; Cucurbita lagenaria closes when the sun shines on it

A radicle of Cucurbita, directed upwards (Fig.

Prince Cucurbita was very unhappy.

On the other hand, the cotyledons of Cucurbita ovifera moved in the normal manner during a whole day in darkness.

The tips of the radicles of Cucurbita ovifera were likewise highly sensitive to caustic, though only moderately so to contact.

After the sun had been up some hours, a lady came into the garden and approached the home of the Cucurbita family.

Two other plants, the Cucurbita pepo squash and little barley, appear to have been consumed, though evidence of their domestication is not as clear.

This is the case with Cucurbita ovifera: nevertheless, in whatever position the seeds were buried, the hypocotyl always came up arched in one particular direction.

Cucurbita ovifera: tracks left by tips of radicles in growing downwards over smoked glass-plates, inclined at 70o to the horizon.
