For convenience sake I chiefly tried small seeds without the capsules or fruit; and as all of these sank in a few days, they could not have been floated across wide spaces of the sea, whether or not they were injured by salt water.
Erosotasunagatik, batez ere kapsularik edo fruiturik gabeko hazi txikiekin egin nituen esperimentuak, eta, egun batzuen buruan guztiak hondora joan zirenez gero, itsas arlo handirik ezin izanen zuten egin urazalean flotari, itsasoko urak alferrik galdu edo ez.
