As temperatures climbed, the trees proliferated and came into competition with each other. A. Each banyan spread out farther, sometimes doubling back on itself for safety. B. Under pressure, it evolved and adapted. C. Always it grew higher and crept wider, protecting its parent stem as its rivals multiplied, dropping down trunk after trunk, throwing out branch after branch, until at last it learnt the trick of growing into its neighbour banyan, forming a thicket against which no other tree could strive. D. On this continent, the banyan, thriving in the heat and using its complex system of self-rooting branches, gradually established ascendancy over the other species. S2. Their complexity became unrivalled, their immortality established.
