Sir Jagadis gives a scientific explanation for this phenomenon in his book which, incidentally, is duvoted to an account of on the much- experimental researches debated subject of the physiology of the nscent of sap, which lead to the conclusion that the scent of sap is not, as is commonly held; a purely physical process, but is car ried on by the netivity of living cells.
