As you can see from the picture in the article, the unusual leaves of this plant are shaped remarkably like a man with a blue shirt, with his arm forming the stem.

Very amusing. I am that man. I do not normally carry a gigantic ruler to show the scale of things so I used myself instead. OK? Sorry about the silly grin, I blame my wife for taking the picture at the wrong moment - Adrian Pingstone 18:11, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Haha, yes it's ok. I just couldn't resist the joke. It's really nice. --DanielCD 13:35, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The botanical standard is to use one's hat, while for geologists it's the rock hammer, or ice axe if at higher altitudes. Some entomologists use a shoe bottom. :-) Stan 18:02, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I don't wear a hat! (and no hat was available from those around me) - Adrian Pingstone 21:50, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

So there is some of this Gunnera growing near where I live in Bellingham, WA USA —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsprinkle (talk • contribs) 18:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
