THE DELICIOUS MONSTER. 
This mighty plant of Tropical America is a near relative of the common Cuckoo-pint of our woods and lanes. It is a 
climber, as the strong aerial roots in the foreground of the photograph testify. But the most remarkable characteristic is that of 
the perforation of the upper leaves, a method devised by Nature to allow light and air to reach the lower foliage, which would 
otherwise be doomed to decay.
