Figures & data
Figure 1.Dionaea muscipula (on the left) and Mimosa pudica (on the right). Normal angular displacement in D. muscipula (Δθ) given by equation: [(θ1 - 90°) + (90° - θ2) before stimulation] - [(θ1 - 90°) + (90° - θ2) after stimulation] = ± 47° and in Mimosa Pudica (Δθ) the result of subtracting: (θ2 – θ1 = ± 28°).The illustrations show the plants before (left) and after mechanical stimulation (right), demonstrating the angular displacement. Circle angles from 0 to 360 degrees to calculate the positions at the end.

Figure 2. The graphs show the angular displacement in both plants. A) M. pudica: in control group de average angular change was 28° (standard deviation = 7°). In ether group the average angular change was 6° (standard deviation = 7°). B) D. muscipula: the average angular change in control group was 47° (standard deviation = 6°) and 5° in ether group (standard deviation = 6°).
