Description

  One plant, flush against the right margin.

    Roots: a bunch of unbranched tentacle-like roots radiating from 
      the stem's base. Light colored, partial dark overpaint.
    Stem: rather thick, bent. Light colored, with a stripe 
      (shadow) along its left side that was hatched and then
      overpainted with dark opaque color.
    Branches: none.
    Leaves: lance-shaped with an S bend, very dense, 
      growing straight off the stem on both sides, each partially covering
      the previous one. Stem ends with one unpaired leaf. Light colored, 
      with a dark-painted shadow on the bottom of each leaf, and
      a dotted line just inside the leaf's rim.
    Flowers: none.

  Four paragraphs (unit P) with 9.5, 3.5, 2.7, and 2.8 lines: 
  one at the top, the other three just below mid-page.
  The first two are left-justified and follow the plant's outline on
  the right. The last two are left- and right-justified, and
  interrupted by the main stem.

Comments

  The plant looks strange because of the dense leaves Perhaps they
  are actually the sheaths of leafstalks, badly drawn? Perhaps the
  dots along the leaf rim are short spines?
