—In the tropics vege-tation is generally of a fresher
verdure, more luxuriantand succulent, and adorned with larger
and more shiningleaves than in our northern climates. The
“social plants,”which often impart so uniform and
monotonous a characterto European countries, are almost
entirely absent in the
Equatorial regions. Trees almost
as lofty as our oaks areadorned with flowers as large and as
beautiful as our lilies.On the shady banks of the Rio Magdalena
in SouthAmerica, there
grows a climbing Aristolochia, bearingflowers four feet in
circumference, which the Indian boysdraw over their heads in
sport, and wear them as hats orhelmets. In the islands of the
Indian Archipelago, theflower of the Rafflesia is nearly three
feet in diameter, andweighs above fourteen pounds.—
