Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond.

Guided in these botanical encounters by Francis Hallé, who has spent forty years in pursuit of the strange and beautiful plant specimens of the rainforest, the reader discovers a plant with just one solitary, monumental leaf; an invasive hyacinth; a tree that walks; a parasitic laurel; and a dancing vine. Further explorations reveal the Rafflesia arnoldii, the biggest flower in the world, with a crown of stamens and pistils the color of rotten meat that exude the stench of garbage in the summer sun; underground trees with leaves that form a carpet on the ground above them; and the biggest tree in Africa, which can reach seventy meters (more tha 200 feet) in height, with a four-meter (about 13 feet) diameter. Hallé's drawings, many in color, provide a witty accompaniment.

De Codariocalyx motorius, la plante qui danse, aux Solanaceae d'Argentine, ces arbres souterrains dont on n'aperçoit qu'un tapis de feuilles au sol, leurs modes de développement et d'adaptation dépassent souvent notre compréhension pour enchanter notre imagination. Exubérantes, énigmatiques, dotées d'aptitudes surprenantes, les merveilles végétales présentées dans ce cabinet de curiosités inattendu plaident en faveur de la sauvegarde des forêts tropicales aujourd'hui gravement menacées.
