Synopsis

Excerpt from The Pageant of Nature, Vol. 3

The presence of dead flies has caused a suggestion to be made that possibly the wild arum is an ogre plant that takes toll of some Of its visitors, stupefying them with its nectar, and after their death extracting and absorbing the juices of their bodies; in other words, it makes a meal Of them like all traditional ogres. But it is generally felt that this point needs further elucidation.
