Abstract
Experiments in television photography instrumented by the landers VENERA-13 and VENERA-14 (March, 1 and 5, 1982) yielded 37 panoramas (or their fragments) of the Venus surface at the landing sites. The archival panoramas were re- examined using modern processing techniques and revealed 'stem' objects possessing apparent terramorphic features of Earth-like plants. This paper is devoted to hypothetical venusian flora only. 'Plants' or 'Stems' are thin knotty vertical trunks that have a thickness of 0.3-3 cm and are 0.2 to 0.5 m tall. On close objects, one can see that the 'stem' at the top end is provided with a large bulge, a 'burgeon' or 'flower', with 'petals' surrounding a bright center.
