Summary
Potato germs grown in absence of light contain a substance which doubtless can be classified as lignin. This statement, though contradictory to the findings ofP. Klason, may be proved by microscopic staining methods as well as by chemical analysis. It is concluded that photo-energy is not necessary for the formation of lignin.
