Abstract
SUMMARYTwo species of Crotalaria, C. juncea L., a fibre‐yielding plant, and C. sericea Retz., have been grown in a glasshouse at three different light‐intensities. Comparisons have been made of their rates of increase in dry weight, relative growth rate, leaf area ratio, specific leaf area, leaf weight ratio, net assimilation rate, the ratio a of Whitehead & Myerscough and shoot/root ratio. C. sericea appears to be the more shade‐tolerant because its increased leaf area ratio compensates for a reduced net assimilation rate and so maintains the level of its relative growth rate.
