 Hi everyone,
                      I germinated seed of bybilis liniflora which I
collected at a friends place last wet season just 20 minutes north of my
place here in Townsville. Queensland, Aus. The resulting plants are all the
same as they have been for years except for the very unusual growth of one
plant. While the others have grown nornally and flowered, one has grown to
14 ins. long and about half way up the stem, has thickened up to a solid
mass, 7 ins. long, 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick. On this mass are hundreds
of fine sticky hairs and small flowers. This plant has germinated in the
same pot as 2 other plants and they show typical growth, along with the
other plants and all came from the same batch of seed. Has anyone out there
had a similar experience with this sort of thing?
        Best wishes to all.
