Madagascar Tree

The Madagascar Tree is a legendary plant native to the Madacagar region which purportedly has tentacle-like limbs in place of branches and which can consume and digest animals much like a Venus Fly-Trap. 
The first reported sighting of the 'tree' was by a 'Carl Liche' whose tantalising personal report made its way back to Germany where it was published. Public reception of the report was a combination of intrigue and doubt, although the idea of man-eating plants soon found its way into popular sci-fi fiction stories. 
The last reported sighting of the tree was in 1933 and has not been seen since. At least not by 'serious' scientific personnel.
