These are growing in a pot at my friend's place at Shahpur, Mah. as seen by us on 28 March '10. Quoting from Stern " Some leaves of Dischidia, an epiphyte ... from tropical Australasia, develop into pouches that become the home of ant colonies. The ants carry in soil and add nitrogenous wastes, while moisture collects in the leaves through condensation of the water vapor coming from the mesophyll through stomata. This creates a good growing medium for roots, which develop adventitiously from the same node as the leaf and grow down into the soil contained in the urnlike pouch. In other words, this extraordinary plant not only reproduces itself by conventional means but also, with the aid of ants, provides its own fertilized growing medium and flower pots and then produces special roots, which " exploit " the situation." After this any doubts about how intelligent plant are? !! regards, Rashida. ------------------------------ All the post budget analysis and implications Sign up now. <http://news.in.msn.com/moneyspecial/budget2010/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "eFloraofIndia" group.
