Unusual and Noteworthy Plants

In the spirit of sharing information on the fabulous Internet Superhighway, and the quest for knowledge, WAYNE'S WORD is featuring little-known and unusual plants of the world. These are mostly plants brought to Professor Armstrong by curious students who wanted to know more about the plants, or perhaps wanted to get a better grade in biology. The short articles will be monthly but non-regular. In other words, they will appear from time to time and are listed by the month that they first appear in reverse chronological order:
