What reading level is The Life of the Plant book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Other plants have the lamina of their leaves bent down in the nocturnal position, and so appear as if withered ; in this case of the clover, on the con- trary, they are raised, and so it is clear that we have to do with quite a peculiar mechanical phenomenon.
Sleep movements in flower organs are even more distinctly seen. Thus, for instance, in the early morning or in the twilight we do not see any of the yellow heads 262 THE LIFE OF THE PLANT of the dandelion which spoil so often the uniform g...reen of our lawns. This is because these flowers open only in the light : on a dull day they may likewise remain closed. Other flowers, on the contrary, close in the day-time. This is the case with the goat's -beard (John-go-to-bed-at-noon), the yellow flowers of which are very much like those of the dandelion, only larger in size. They open early in the morning and close by ten or eleven. These phenomena attracted much attention among botanists of the eighteenth century. It was even suggested that floral hours might be observed ; the hours of the day being defined by the opening and closing of different flowers.
