Excerpt from The American Botanist, Vol. 2: Devoted to Economic and Ecological Botany; January, 1902
All plants grown in arid~ places tend to develop very thick, succulent stems, having little or no leaves, but a very thick skin to prevent the absorption of their life juices by evaporation. A very good instance of this is to be found in the common ice plant which grows so thickly along our beaches, just above high-water mark.
