Note 70 — THE INDIVIDUAL ORGANISM WITH REGARD TO FORM AND METABOLISM (continued 3)

Certain phenomena of the physiology of growth of Geranium Robertianum, recently discussed by Francé from a vitalistic point of view (Zeitschr. Entw. lehre. 1, 1907, Heft iv.), might also belong here. I cannot see an independent proof of vitalism in these facts if taken by themselves; a pre-existing “machine” cannot be absolutely excluded here.
