The stem's base is wrapped with a short uncolored # sheath. # * Branches: several, diagonal, mostly straight. # * Leaves: four lobes with serrated edges, naturalistically curved. # each lobe has a central vein. Stalks: medium-short, thin, look like # branches. Light coulored, many of them with crudely overpainted # dark splotches. # * Flowers: several, medium-small, mostly upright, some drooping. # Stalk: short, sometimes bent by weight. Chalyx: rounded, light # colored, like a rose's but on the fat side. Sepals: short and # pointed, light colored. Petals: half a dozen, small, # tongue-shaped, spread out; dark overpaint almost but not # quite fills their outline. # # One paragraph (unit µ{P}) with 5.5 lines, above the plant, left- # and right-justified. # # Comments: # # The plant looks fairly normal, except for the fantastic # loop in the stalk. Leaves and flowers are very naturalistic, # but some are spoiled by the crude dark overpaint. # # References: # # # Last edited on 1999-04-15 05:30:06 by stolfi
