caption: Charles BONNET (1720-1793), naturalist, biologist and Swiss philosopher, discoverer of parthenogenesis and the author of a theory of evolution. Table that illustrates an experiment on the need for light of plants. A sapling of the screw is placed in a vase with water and forced with a cord to be folded down; however, the plant grows in the direction of the light, twisting the stem as a function of the light source.
