"Walking Tree" of Costa Rica. Is it Makainki ?????
Has anyone looked in AGRICOLA? BRBR
After asking that, I looked myself. There is one article available on stilt roots in tropical palms. Further searching revealed that the best-known species of the tropical stilt rooted palms are A HREF="http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Iriartea/deltoidea.html" Iriartea deltoidea/A. and A HREF="http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Socratea/exorrhiza.html"PACSOA - Socratea exorrhiza/A There is no mention anywhere of any of these trees "walking", so the whole thing may be a myth, like the deadliness of the Upas tree. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train." Robert Lowell (1917-1977) |
