Abstract: In an artificial representation of a plant formed of plant organ simulating members, such as, stem and leaf simulating members, respectively having rod-like and tubular connecting portions molded of synthetic resin and being axially interengaged to provide a joint for asembling together the respective plant organ simulating members; each tubular connecting portion has an axial bore with an opening at least at one end of the axial insertion of the respective rod-like connecting portion therein and a seating surface extending outwardly from the bore and facing away from the open one end of the latter at a location spaced axially from that one end; and each rod-like connecting portion has a free end with a barb extending therefrom which is flexed inwardly from an original configuration upon the axial insertion of the respective rod-like connecting portion into the bore and which returns to its original configuration upon attaining the location of the seating surface for engaging the latter and thereby locking to
