<p class="MsoNormal">I was hoping to get some help answering a reference question for a patron that has stumped me. They are looking for a short story that was most likely published in the 1950s or 1960s. It is science fiction and is about a planet that humans
land on, where the planet is controlled by a plant named "the core." She said it is about 5 pages long. It was most likely published in an anthology or magazine. <o:p></o:p></p>
