mai khen (ไม้เขน)
Thai.
‘Shield
tree’.
A small, manipulated tree
or shrub, with a bare, straight to S-
or Z-shaped trunk. It has a very rough bark, dark brown in colour
and with knobs and greyish fissures near the base. Like most
bonsai-like
trees,
it has bare branches, that only have bushes of foliage at their
outermost tips, preferably globular in shape. The branches have been manipulated
to grow with sharp, angular bends, making them -depending from which
angle they are viewed- nearly
ϟ-shaped, like wooden
thunderbolts.
See also POSTAGE STAMPS.
