| Title | Paper, 'On the power of contractility exhibited by the protoplasm of certain plant cells' by Walter Gardiner |
| Date | 1887 |
| Description | Gardiner writes: 'In a former communication (‘Roy. Soc. Proc.,’ No. 240, 1886) [see PP/7/7], some account was given of the principal changes which take place in the gland cells and stalk cells of Drosera dichotoma during secretion. The present paper deals with certain experiments and observations which were undertaken in order to attempt to ascertain by what mechanism the bending of the tentacles is made possible in Drosera, and what changes occur in the tentacle cells.'
