The "Carnel" Among Plants.

The New York botanical garden pos
sesses curiosity in a plant which sup
plies its own water from an internal
reservoir. 1t comes from the Sonora
desert in Mexico, and is called the
guarequi. The plant develops a large,
thiekened root and stem base, and, in
the short season-only a few weeks in
length = during which it can obtain
water from the soil, it supplies itself
by means of short tendrils, which then
dry up After that it lies on the des-
ert entirely detached from the soil. It
is said this odd plant can store enough
water to last a quarter of century.
