i3« MARGINS OF LEAVES. 



This term is opposed to all kinds of teetii, notches^ 

 or incisions. It regards solely the margin of a leaf i 

 whereas integrum, p. 131, respects its whole shape, 

 and has nothing to do with the margin. English 

 writers who translate the one entire, and the other 

 vert/ entire, are therefore incorrect. 



Spinosu?n, f. 77, spinous, beset with prickles, as Car- 

 duus lanceolatus, t. 107, and Eryn^iurn campestre, t. 

 57. The veins are spinous in Solanum Pyracantha^ 

 Exot. Bot. t. 64, &G. 



Jnerme.f. 71, unarmed, is opposed to spinous. 



Ciliatum, f. 78, fringed, bordered with soft parallel 

 hairs, as Galium cruciatum, Engl. Bot. t. 143. 



Cortilagineum, canilaginous, hard and horny, as Saxi- 

 frag a callosa, Dicks. Dr. PL n. 63. 



Dentatum, f. 79, toothed, beset with projecting, hori- 

 zontal, rather distant teeth of its own substance, as 

 Atriplex laciniata, Engl. Bot. t. 165, Hypocheeris 

 macnlata, t. 225, and the lower leaves of Centaurea 

 Cyaniis, t. 277 ; also Nymphcea Lotus, Curt. Mag. 

 t. 797.(71) 



Serratum.f. 80, serrated, when the teeth are sharp, and 

 resemble those of a saw, pointing towards the extrem- 

 ity of the leaf. Examples of this are frequent, as 



Urtica, (72) ^ 1 8 and 1236, Rosa, t. 992, &c., Coma- 

 rum palustre,{TS) t.\12, and Seneciopaludosiis,t.&50-y 

 also Dillenia indica, Exot. Bot. t. 2. Some leaves 

 are doubly serrated, duplicato-serrata, having a se- 

 ries of smaller serratures intermixed with the larger, 



(71) [And Arrow wood, Viburnum dentatumT^
