LEAVES OF PANDANUS 



This unusual specimen of Pandanus originally had the three spiral leaves characteristic of its 

 species, but after being transplanted from a flower pot into a bed of rich earth, transformed 

 its leaves into two ranks with the spiral twist entirely absent. The leaves which were at first 

 2 feet 1 inch long and quite rigid grew to a length of 5 feet 3 inches and became very flexible 

 (Fig. 14.)
