Two Years in the French West Indies Lovely spot it must be: the garden of the world, big lazy leaves to float about on, cactuses, flowery meads, snaky lianas they call them. Ulysses Our fires lighted up, to the height of fifty or sixty feet, the palm-trees, the lianas loaded with flowers, and the columns of white smoke, which ascended in a straight line toward the sky. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 2 This tendency of the sap to ascend is well shown in another plant, the water liana. The Naturalist in Nicaragua Below them, the roads, intersected by "nullahs," a sort of instantaneous torrent, were soon rendered impracticable, entangled as they were, besides, with thorny thickets and gigantic lianas, or creeping vines. Five Weeks in a Balloon The rock is naked and black near the road; higher, it is veiled by a heavy green drapery of lianas, curling creepers, unfamiliar vines. Two Years in the French West Indies "And the long lianas, which so oddly stretch from one tree to another!" added the young mulatto. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon The juice of the liana, when it has been recently gathered, is not regarded as poisonous; possibly it is so only when strongly concentrated. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 2 No lianas hang from the trees, and, excepting a few narrow-leaved Tillandsias, no epiphytes nestle on the branches and trunks. The Naturalist in Nicaragua The charming banks of this river were hidden beneath the foliage of trees of various dyes; lianas and climbing plants wound in and out on all sides and formed the most curious combinations of color. Five Weeks in a Balloon There are as many lianas as ever: but they are less massive in stem;—the trees, which are stunted, stand closer together; and the web-work of roots is finer and more thickly spun. Two Years in the French West Indies "Well, if you had been rich three months ago you would never have had the idea of—that liana!" Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon Long, sinuous lianas, often queerly braided, hang down from the trees; epiphytes and various parasitic growths add their strange green and red to the complex variety of vegetation. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America But you must know that the liana, once broken in two, never joins again. Chitra, a play in one act This is fitted with two masts, a rudder, and keel, and has an arched awning or cabin near the stern, made of a framework of tough lianas thatched with palm leaves. The Naturalist on the River Amazons It occupies a more ancient crater, and is very rarely visited: the path leading to it is difficult and dangerous,—a natural ladder of roots and lianas over a series of precipices. Two Years in the French West Indies "I proposed," replied Minha, "that we try to follow that liana to its very end." Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon From the precipitous side of the mountain hung the graceful lianas, like floating draperies, forming magnificent canopies of verdure on the face of the rocks. Paul and Virginia I drew together the leafy lianas to screen the streaming sun from his face. Chitra, a play in one act They were mounted on little stages called moutas, made of poles and cross-pieces of wood secured with lianas, and were shooting the turtles as they came near the surface, with bows and arrows. The Naturalist on the River Amazons They told how through the woods tangled with undergrowth, matted together with lianas, they had hewed a path. A Vanished Arcadia: being some account of the Jesuits in Paraguay 1607-1767 If it was a high rock, carpeted with verdure, over which the liana twisted like a serpent, they climbed it and passed on. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon "You are wrong," replied Minha; "that is not it, that is a liana of another kind." Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon A famous idea that of yours, Miss Lina," he was constantly saying, "to play at 'following the liana!' Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon The distance was about half a mile, and the ropes used for drawing the heavy load were tough lianas cut from the surrounding trees. The Naturalist on the River Amazons And Lina pointed to a liana of the "cipos" kind, twisted round a gigantic sensitive mimosa, whose leaves, light as feathers, shut up at the least disturbance. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon "Don't be afraid, the liana is getting thinner; we shall get the better of it, and find out its end!" Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon They shook the liana with vigor, but it would not give, and the birds flew away in hundreds, and the monkeys fled from tree to tree, so as to point out the way. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon But a bridge of lianas, made of "bejucos," twined together by their interlacing branches, crossed the stream. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon They descended towards me, hopping from bough to bough, some of them swinging on the loops and cables of woody lianas, and all croaking and fluttering their wings like so many furies. The Naturalist on the River Amazons "Have we got to the end of the liana?" asked Minha. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon The long festoon of the liana curled round its higher branches, moving away to the other side of the clearing, and disappeared again into the forest. Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon When they wish to cross a river, they make a temporary canoe with the thick bark of trees, which they secure in the required shape of a boat by means of lianas. The Naturalist on the River Amazons Creeping convolvuli and others have made use of the slender lianas and hanging air roots as ladders to climb by. The Naturalist on the River Amazons The oars used in such canoes as ours are made by tying a stout paddle to the end of a long pole by means of woody lianas. The Naturalist on the River Amazons
