Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rapid plant movement encompasses movement in plant structures occurring over a very short period of time, usually under one second. For example, the Venus Flytrap closes its trap in about 100 milliseconds. The Dogwood Bunchberry's flower opens its petals and fires pollen in less than 0.5 milliseconds. The record is currently held by the White Mulberry tree, with flower movement taking 25 s, moving petals to velocities in excess of half the speed of sound - near the theoretical physical limits for movements in plants. These rapid plant movements differ from the more common, but much slower growth-movements of plants, called tropisms.
