some OF the most curious
organisms In the plant king
dom are described IN an ac-
count Of the natural history
Of desolate Canton Island
In the South Pacific.
Herbs and shrubs have
grown so long thousands of
miles from any neighboring
land that in many cases they
have become distinct species.
Some of those described by
DR.. Otto Degener Of the New
York Botanical Gardens and
Edwin Gillaspie Of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority in q
report to the Pacific Science
Board Of the National Re-
search Council:
Sevusium, the stink flower.
It is . PROSTATE herb form
ing extensive mats Of thick
stems and leaves near the la
COON beach where salts ac-
cumulate on drying. It is
evil smelling. Being fleshy
and rather brittle, it dies in
solid black lines soon after
the wheels Of q car have
passed over it. Its pale. pink
flowers are hunted out by
hermit crabs. which eat sta
mems and ovary. They also
extract ripening seeds from
the somewhat fleshy capsules.
Some seeds escape. and thus
the plant is spread over the
island.
The love vine. This is a
rootless parasite, like mistle-
toe. consisting Of pale
green. INTERVENING, root-like
branches bearing tiny white
flowers and marble like
fruits. It's sucking organs
rob other plants of sap. One
love vine may Irvine around
and gain nourishment from
several different kinds Of
hosts.
Moon Flower Described
The Cantonese moon flow
er with dark-green, heart
shaped leaves and large
white flowers that bloom
only at night. 1t is chiefly
found inland among arid
guano deposits. BY the time
dry weather comes it has
matured its seeds and died
back to a massive rootstock.
1t is being planted as all or
namental on trellises.
The beach morning glory.
This can be found over most
. Of the Pacific but is limited
almost entirely to sandy
beaches. Only one speci-
men has been found, near
the remains of an army
camp. Seeds we're planted
experimentally and sprout-
ed but the sprouts we're set
upon by hermit crabs al
most as soon as they APP
peared above ground. The
solitary plant presumably
was planted and tended care
fully by some soldier who
chased the crabs away. Be-
cause Of the abundance of
this vine along tropical
shores new wave-carried in

The tree heliotrope. This.
with its blossoms. is the
most beautiful tree on the
island. It is native and
commonly forms clumps or
small groves. It bears small.

In this way, after q few

Strange Plant Life on Canton Island
By THOMAS R. HENRI

is q SPRAYING plant with UNI
usual leaves and seems very
close, II not identical, with
tomato plants growing wild
in the Galapagos Islands. It
probably will prove an hith-
erto undescribed variety
The kou tree, notable for
its hard wood. 1t is unques-
tionably. the report says, ma.
tive to the island although It
probably originated in Ha-
wall.
1T is interesting to specu-
late" says DR.. Degener, "how
many seeds reached the atoll
before one finally escaped de-
struction by hermit crabs and
grew to maturity. Two small,
healthy patches Of kou for
est on the southwest end Of
the island long have been
used as landmarks at sea.
THE branches Of the kou
grow mostly erect, making
them impossible nesting sites
for clumsy nest builders like
boobies and frigate birds.
These branches bear large,
pale leaves and nectar filled
orange flowers followed by
corky fruits enclosing several
seeds. The branches often
die back to near the base
during dry seasons, thus
lending to the tropical land
scape a wintery appearance.
Though many fruits are pro-
duced year after year to litter
the ground, only those that
are fortunate enough. to get
buried can sprout their seeds.
AS the kou casts welcome
shade about itself, it is always
the resting place for hum
dreds Of hermit crabs. Some
Of these wander about the
grove any time of the day,
while the majority sleep until
the heat Of the sun has waned
and it is time to sally forth
for food.
Grabs Get Seedlings
Thus every hour of the
day these seedlings are at the
mercy Of an army Of vora-
cious crabs. Though many
seedlings appear above ground
after a period of rainy
weather I have yet failed to
see a single one escape an
initiation. But in spite Of
this destruction the groves
often increase in size. This
is accomplished by suckering.
The kou grows rapidly, seeds
planted in July being erect
trees a foot or more high by
the following April. Trees are
often badly defoliated by
caterpillars which lay their
eggs on the side protected
from the wind. This cater
pillar has only one enemy, an
evil-smelling bug. It inserts
its needle-like beak into its
victim, sucking its Juices and
killing it."
The native land flora Of
Canton Island comprises only
IA kinds of Towering plants.
All presumably are examples
of the evolutionary principle
Of survival of the fittest. Not
a single fern. moss or slime
mold is native. Some fungi
are carried about in giant
snail shells which are trans
ported as houses by the her
NIT crabs.
The scarcity Of plants, DR..
Degener says. unquestionably
is due to the scarcity of rain,
the salt-impregnated barren
soil. and to the low elevation
which enables tropical storms
to sweep the island periodi-
cally bare Of almost all life.
Most castaways find condi-
tons too unfavorable for
survival.
