Abstract
PROF. D. THODAY has suggested1 that the remarkable stomatal behaviour of coffee may be explicable on a hypothesis involving variations in the water content of the epidermis as distinct from that of the leaf as a whole. As he says, a critical experiment would be the determination, in saturated air, of the relation between stomatal aperture and radiation. This has not been done.
