SUMMARY The logistic function is an adequate model for the growth of individuals of higher plants under constant environmental conditions. The parameters are estimated by means of a simple regression analysis. As an illustration growth of two related annual species ( Galinsoga ciliata and G. parviflora ) under heated green‐house conditions has been compared.
