The interesting bud of Liriodendron has been already de- 
seribed. In Magnolia the bud is similar, but the leaf-stalk is 
short and the leaf upright. 
Stipules connate, forming a covering all over the terminal bud. 
Magnolia conspicua, Linn. (figs. 1-4).—When the leaf falls in

which enclose the bud. In our country this leaf seems always

upper leaf are persistent and protect the bud. The stipules of 
U. glauca are covered with fine adpressed hairs. Within is a
