Stalk, as Potentilla verna, Engl. Bot. t. 37, reptans, 

 (79) t. 862, and Alchemilla alpina, t. 244. 

 Sinaturriyf. 105, binate, is a fingered leaf consisting of 

 only two leaflets, as in Zijgophyllum, Curt. Mag. t. 



372. 

 TcTrtatwn,/'. 106 ^ ternaXe J consists of three leaflets, as 



Fagonia crctica^ t. 241, and the genus Trifolium 



Trefoil. See E?igL Bot. t. 190, &c. 

 Qiiinatunij quinate, of five leaflets, as Pofe?itilla aiba, t. 



1384, reptans., t. 862, Sec. 

 Fmnatum, pinnate, when several leaflets proceed laterally 



from one footstalk, and imitate a pinnatifid leaf, />. 



135. This is of several kinds. 

 cum imparl,/. 116, with an odd, or terminal, leaflet, as 



in Roses, and Elder, also Polemomum coeruleum^ 



Engl. Bot. t. 14, and Hedysarum Onobrychis, t. 96. 

 mrrosum\f. 115, with a tendril, when furnished with a 



tendril in place of the odd leaflet, as the Pea and Vetch 



tribe ; Pisum }}iaritimum, t. 1046, Lathyrus palustris^ 



(80) t. 169, P^icia sativa, t. 334. 

 ahrupte^f. 10 i, abruptly, without either a terminal leaf- 



lei oi a tendril, as Cassia Chamcecrista, (80) Curt. 



Mag^ t. 107, and the genus Mimosa. See M. pudica^ 



the Common Sensitive-plant. This form of leaf is 



much more uncommon than the imparipinnatum^^ndi 



we have no perfect example of it among British plants. 



The nearest approach to it is the genus Orobus, 



whose leaves have only the rudinier;ts of a tendril. 



A truly wonderful variety of the Orobi's sylvaticui.,
