Summary
The Doctor takes Jamie and Zoe to visit an old friend of his called Doctor Vane in the Experimental Botanical Gardens on Venus. However, when they arrive, he asks Zoe to stay at the TARDIS while he and Jamie go alone. Something strange has been happening, which is why they are really there. A few days earlier, Doctor Vane found his laboratory wrecked and his prized Galea Tentipocus plant missing. He tells this story to the Doctor and Jamie and reveals that he has sent his assistant Regan after the thieves, but Regan finds a strange sentient plant at the end of the trail that attacks him. Hearing his cry, the Doctor and Jamie rush to the scene then head off after the plant, which has grown to gigantic proportions and threatens to engulf everything. As the plant makes to attack them, the Doctor sets fire to it with his lighter. The menace is ended.

This strip was drawn by an uncredited artist who 'took' his inspiration from the 1950's Ron Embleton story 'Rockinghams Tree' in the Bill Merrill series that appeared in Spaceman Comic. The characters & poses have been copied directly & framing, especially on the last page, is a 90% direct copy but with The Doctor & Co replacing The Spacemen.
