TERMINATIONS OF LEAVES. 159 



into several oblong parallel segments, as 

 inlpomopsis, Exot. Bot. t. 13, 14, Bunias 

 Cakile, Engl. Bot. t. 231, Lepidium 

 didymum.t. 248, pctmum,t. Ill, and 

 Myriophyllum verticillatum, L 218. 

 Bipinnatifidum, doubly pinnatifid, as Fa- 

 paver Argcmone, t. 643, and Eriocalia 

 major i Exot. Bot. t. 78. 

 Pectinatum, pectinate, is a pinnatifid leaf, 

 whose segments are remarkably narrow 

 and parallel, like the teeth of a comb 7 

 as the lower leaves of Myriophyllum 

 verticillatum, and those of Hotionia 

 palustris, Engl Bot. t. 364. 

 Incequale, unequal, sometimes called ob- 

 lique, when the two halves of the leaf 

 are unequal in dimensions, and their 

 bases not parallel, as in Eucalyptus 

 resinifera, Exot. Bot. t. 84, and most 

 of that genus, as well as of Begonia. 



5. The Terminations of Leaves are various. 

 Folium truncatum, an abrupt leaf, has the 

 extremity cut off, as it were, by a trans- 

 verse line, as Liriodendrum tulipifera, 

 Curt. Mag. t. 275.
