BUDS AND STIPULES. 249 
rows. The buds are slightly pentangular, each of the five angles 
being made up of one stipule from each of two continuous and 
successive pairs. The pentangular character of the bud is due 
to the leaves being on the 2 plan of arrangement.

but no leaf; the bud had resumed growth, was oblong, and 16:5 mm.
