ILLUSTRATED GLOSSARY.— Continued. 



Circinate. curved into a circle, resembling 

 fig. 2, but still more incurved so that the apex 

 is nearly or quite bent around to the leaf base; 

 e. g. leaves of Hypnuni nncinatmn. 



Cirrale or cirrhate, applied to leaves which 

 curl up in drying. Cirrate leaves are more reg- 

 ularly curled than crispate leaves. 



Cirrhose, ha\ing a \vavy hair point. 

 Cochleariform, rounded and concave like a 

 spoon or ladle. 

 Complicate, folded together. 

 Costa, the nerve or midrib of a moss leaf. 

 Costate, having a costa. 



Crispate. or crisped, frizzled, curled and twisted 

 in various ways. (Fig. 5.) 



Cucullate, hood-shaped, the apex curved in 

 like a slipper. (Apex of leaf in fig. 6.) 



Cultriform, curved like a short, wide scimitar, 



e. g., the leaves of Homalia trichomanoides Jamesii. 



Cymbijorm, boat-shaped (used by Dixon as a 



synonym of cucullate): e. g. leaves of Sphagnum 



cymbifoliiim. (The whole leaf in fig. 6.) 



Dorsal, belonging to or on the back; i. e., the 

 face of a leaf remote from the stem. 

 Ecostate, lacking a costa. 



Excurrent casta, a costa running out beyond the 

 lamina of a leaf. (Fig. 7.) 



Excavate (leaf-insertion), hollowed out in a curve. 

 Falcate, curved like a sickle. (Fig. 2.) 

 Flexuose, bent backwards and forwards or waved. 

 Hamate, or hamulose, curved like a hook; more 

 sharply and abruptly curved than in falcate and 

 circinnate. 



Heteromallous, leaves or branches turned in dif- 

 ferent directions. 



Homomallous, all turned in the same direction. 

 Imbricated, closely over lapping each other like 

 the tiles of a roof. (Fig. 8.)
