Again, 136. The fultra of certain endogenous plants originate high up the stem, and descend- ing obliquely, enter the soil. Of this kind are the roots of the screw-pine (Panda- mis) of the conservatories, which are often several feet in length before reaching the oround. The figure represents a screw- pine which was. wholly propped up by roots of this- kind as- if on stilts. Sim- ilar roots occur, in a smaller way, at the lower joints of the Indian corn.
