¨&&¨&&¨¨&¨ THAN FERNS, WHICH ARE IN TURN MUCH &¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&&
&&¨&&¨&¨&& OLDER THAN MOST TREES. IT'S LIGHT GREEN &&¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨

¨&&¨&&¨¨¨& TRANSPARENT. ¨&&&¨¨¨¨&¨
¨&¨&&¨&¨¨& &&¨¨&¨¨¨&&

&¨¨¨&&¨¨&& STACKED UPON THE NEXT, WITH SPOKELIKE &&&&&¨&¨&&
¨&¨¨&¨&¨&¨ RIBS RADIATING OUTWARD. EVEN SO, IT'S &¨¨¨¨&&&&¨
¨&&¨&&&&&& VERY LIGHT, BEING HOLLOW. IT'S ROUGHLY ¨&¨¨¨&¨¨¨&
&&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨ THE HEIGHT OF A FOXES TAIL, AND SHARES ¨&&¨¨&&¨¨&
