Description

A large plant, flush against the right and bottom edges, and reaching almost to the top margin.

Root: four dark teardrop-shaped tubers.
Stem: single, straight vertical, with dark streaks.
Branches: not visible.
Leaves: roundish, with scalloped margins.
  Painted solid dark. Stalk: long and drooping.
Flowers: three open flowers and many buds, sprouting from two
  sinuous, drooping branches; ome uncolored, most painted dark.
  Stalk: short. Chalix: spherical, with a short trumpet
  of fused sepals ending with a scalloped edge.  Petals:
  longish in the open flowers, resembling a diver's paddle foot with three
  fingers, painted dark; folded into the chalyx in
  the immature buds. Core, stamens, and pistils: not visible.

Tunneling through the tubers are two animals that could be snakes or earthworms: legless, with long, sinuous bodies ending with a rounded tail. Their head resembles that of a sea horse, and both have a row of dots along the back.

There are three paragraphs (with 3.0, 7.6, 9.6 lines). The first one, squeezed above the plant, is left- and (roughly) right-justified. The other two, that lie between 1/4 and 3/4 of the page's vertical extent, are left-justified, and follow the plant's outline at right.

Comments

The head and snout details of the snakes resemble those of the "baby dragon" in f???. There is a resemblance also to the fishes in the Pisces symbol (f???) and the birds in the "Garden of Eden" page (f???).

It is not clear how the "snakes" are related to the plant.
