Description of Leaf of Bryophyllum calicinum.— Bryophyllum 
calicinum, order Crassulacee, is a tropical plant having fleshy leaves 
with crenate margins. When the leaf is full-grown, there are in each 
indentation of the crenate margin a group of cells which, to the naked 
eye, appear as a rounded elevation. This group of cells does not de- 
velop further so long as the leaf remains on the stem; but, if removed 
and laid upon the ground, these groups of cells begin to develop into 
small plants with stem, leaf, and root. The plants live upon the food- 
material and water stored in the fleshy leaf until the reserve material 
is consumed. The rootlets then start off to find nourishment in the 
ground.
