When the flowers blow, the leaves that clothe the stem are only half unrolled The whole plant is wl 'ish with a bliMHn like that of cabbage leaves. 'I'he leaves seem to be pinictnred by the stem, which apjK^ars as if passing throii^;h then). In reality the leaves are merely heartshajicd, with the two lolws of the " heart" urowii together, so as to surroutid the stem. Here we come upon an example uf the defences .so conniion in nature. The flower is intruded upon by crawling injects which pay no scoie for the pollen they eatâthev do nothing lor fertili/.ition. With a perfoliate leaf to fence tluin out, these marauckTS are discouraged. This protectiim. slight as it is, tells !o the n<ivantage of the plant in its unceasing battle for life and offspring.
