though
in
reality
their
vast
green
suiface
is
supported
by
a strong
underwater
frammework
of twist-
ed tissues.
‘The leaves,
which
are
often
over
six
feet
in diameter
with
a
rim
fron
taree
to
eight
inches
high,
can
support
considerable
weight,
‘Lhe plant
bears
immense
white
flowers,
often
measuring
18 inches
acrbss,
which
wreat-
ly resemble
