It surfaces in the pain and hallucinations of breakbone fever, in a Malay medicine man who is accused of turning into a weretiger to commit murder, and in a chilling description of the noxious Midnight Horror tree: "The flowers are pollinated by bats which are attracted by the smell and, holding to the fleshy corolla with the claws on their wings, thrust their noses into its throat; scratches, as of bats, can be seen on the fallen leaves the next morning...
