A Vegetable Lizard.

Mr.. A. H. Verrill describes in Popu-
lar Science News a curious inhabitant
of tropical forests called the lizard
tree. but which, as he remarks, might
well be named the centipede plant.
This singular growth consists of stem
jointed like a bamboo, with green
leaves growing directly from the bark,
and slender white roots springing
from the joints, with which it main
tains its hold upon the bark of the
tree whereon it grows. When it has
attained length of three or four feet,
the lower sections of the lizard plant
drop off, and fastening upon any con-
venient object, begin their Independent
growth. When thus growing upon
the ground, if the plant encounters a
tree it Immediately begins to ascend
the trunk.
