Excerpt from On Chorisis: As an Explanation of Certain Vegetable Structures
We need not, however, be in any doubt as to the true explanation of what occurs, as we are familiar with cases of degrees of coherence from the slight attachment Of the als of a Flax or Woodsorrel to the complete union Of these parts in a Convolvulus or an Erica, from the connection of the als at the base only in some cases, to its reaching the very tip in others, and we may have seen a little starvation restore a Bellflower or Convolvulus to five separate als.
