ABSTRACT Sweet and Wareing1 have recently discussed the role of plant growth in controlling the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the translocation of assimilates from the leaves. We have

worked with _Chrysanthemum morifolium_ grown as a flowering pot plant2 in conditions in which the flowers became an important sink for assimilates. We have examined the effect of removing

these sinks on the accumulation of dry matter and our results seem to illustrate a system in which the rate of accumulation of dry matter is not affected by the removal of an important sink.
