pies of which are frequent in the class 

 Tetr adynamia* 

 verticillato, in a whorled manner, the 

 leaflets cut into fine divaricated seg- 

 ments embracing the footstalk, as Sium 

 verticillatum, FL Brit. Engl. Bot. ft 395* 

 Auriculatum, an auricled leaf, is furnished 

 at its base with a pair of leaflets, pro- 

 perly distinct, but occasionally liable to 

 be joined with it, as Salvia triloba, FL 

 Grcec. t. 17, and Dipsacus pilosus, 

 Ensl. Bot. t. 877. Linnaeus in the last 

 example uses the term appendiculatum, 

 which is correct, but superfluous, and I 

 have therefore ventured to apply it 

 somewhat differently, p. 173* 

 Conjugatum, conjugate, or yoked, con- 

 sists of only a pair of pinnce or leaflets, 

 and is much the same as binatum. In- 

 stances of it are in the genus Zygophyl- 

 lum, whose name, equivalent to Yoke- 

 leaf, expresses this very character ; also 

 in Lathy rus sylvjstris, Engl. Bot. t. 80;% 

 and latifolius, t. 1103. ByugUfit, tri- 

 jugum,quadrijugitm 7 midtvjugum, &c, 

 express particular numbers of pairs'
