numerous ramifications produce small leaflets which however 

 judging from their lasting hairiness and their length of only 

 one mM. do not develop beyond their first stage. 



The whole thing has a length of 2'/2 dM. and by its paniculate 

 shape (the primary, secondary etc. branches being decussate) 

 strongly contrasts with the normal branches and leaves. Whereas 

 the branches show hypertrophic development, the leaves dis- 

 tinctly exemplify atrophy. Whether or not some vegetable or 

 animal organism is at the bottom of this malformation in the 

 dried state of the specimen cannot be decided.
