A ring of 19 "fat mousetail" roots--- # dark, short and S-shaped---sprout from the edge; they seem # to support the "pancake" like the legs of a table. # * Stem: many short straight stems sprout separately from the top surface # of the "pancake". Each stem ends with a leaf. # * Branches: occasional short branches, each having a # single leaf at the tip. # * Leaves: two spindle-shaped leaves fused at the base, forming a # "V" with fat arms and pointed tips. No leaf stalks. # * Flowers: a single flower. # Stalk: longish. Chalyx: spindle-shaped, with small triangular # sepals. Petals: seven small scale-shaped petals. Core: small. # # There are three paragraphs of text (with 4.3, 3.4, 5.9 lines) # above the plant, flush against the top margin. Below the third one # there is a centered line with 4-5 words; it may be part of the # paragraph. The first two paragraphs span margin-to-margin; the # last one is even on the left, and extends right up to the plant's # outline on the right, even touching it. # # Rene [04 Apr 1999] reports that the ink is darker # than in most pages. # # On the top margin, left side, there is a printout of the # flower from f38v. # # Comments: # # An almost identical copy of this drawing appears on f95r2. The # drawing on this page is drawn with more skill, and the flowers are # more detailed. The root is flatter, and its upper surface is # ligher. Also the flowers sprout from the side of the stem, not # from its tip as in f95r2. # # References: # # # Last edited on 1999-04-11 04:14:27 by stolfi
