LIGHT AND HEAT 73 The Colour of Young Leaves and Shoots.—^In some cases young leaves are, for some time after emerging from the bud, reddish in colour. As the leaves grow older, this pigmentation gradually passes away, and the natural green colour is assumed. The pigment is contained in the sap, and is protective. The phenomenon is chiefly observed among plants in the Tropics, where the hght is very strong. Certain rays of the spectrum—chiefly the blue and the actinic, which are very abundant in strong light—act injuri
