Abstract
WE have recently investigated the histology of Derris elliptica roots, with respect to their contents of rotenone and related toxic substances. Cells which apparently contain resins are distinguishable in unstained sections. We have applied Durham's test to sections, and have shown that the resin cells, and these only, respond to the test.
