Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conditions of Parasitism in Plants
The mechanical adhesion of the bodies Of seed-plants which would make parasitism possible might be brought about in three different ways: (1) Roots growing thickly interlaced in the soil might unite or penetrate each other; (2) adventitious roots arising from internodes at any place on the aerial stems might pierce the bodies of other plants; (3) seeds lodging in the bark or in the wounds Of a plant might germinate and send absorb mg organs into the tissues of the possible host.
