Note 120 — IV
Philip Askell Benton translation
Certain trees, e.g. the sappy Candelabria-Euphorbia, exhibit in their shade a temperature differing some three or four degrees from that of their surroundings. I can testify that this was so at Madagali, in the Mandara highlands, where my tent was pitched under a very large Euphorbia. The temperature in the open tent, on the contrary, did not differ from that outside.
