If a bird drop a seed, or the wind waft one where it may find permanent lodgement among the chinks of a building it presently puts forth fibres which soon become roots and branches, clinging among the stucco and fissures, and finding nourishment, as it were, in the midst of sterility - the Mosque of Syuff Khan has thus been o'ercanopied with the foliage of the banian.
