7_50 Berkeley, June 30, 1901 Prof. Joseph LeConte just called my attention to an article in Science this year, by Bessey on twig-shedding in the Cottonwood. Everyone has noticed, in a rey region where wood is scarce, that it is easy to build a little campfire from the numerous twigs which are found on the ground beneath the tree. Again in the Bald Cypress, there is a shedding of the twigs, the leaf-bearing twigs, the whole twig with its attached leaves falling away; These are beautifully seen in fossils. Do the Redwood and Sequoia shed twigs also? They do to a certain extent--but with what regularity as to season and size of twig? |
