| Title | Paper, 'On the continuity of the protoplasm in the motile organs of leaves' by Walter Gardiner |
| Date | 1882 |
| Description | Gardiner writes: 'In a preliminary note published in the “Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science,” for October, 1882, I stated that I had succeeded in demonstrating that the continuity of the protoplasm of adjacent cells in the pulvinus of Mimosa pudica was maintained by protoplasmic filaments, which passed through pits in the cell wall. I have since then shown that the same occurs in Robinia and Amicia.' He communicates the results of a new series of experiments.
