let, as the Pea and Vetch tribe ; Visum 

 maritimum, t. 104(), Lathyi^us pedant ris, 

 t. 169, Vicia sativa, t. 334. 



ahriipte, f. 101, abruptly, without either a 

 terminal leaflet or a tendiil, as Cassia 

 Chamcecrista^ Curt. Mag. 1. 107, and the 

 genus Mimosa. See M. pndica, the Com- 

 mon Sensitive-plant. This form of leaf is 

 much more uncommon than the imparl- 

 piimatum, and we have no perfect ex- 

 ample of it among British plants. The 

 nearest approach to it is the genus 

 Orobus, whose leaves have only the ru- 

 diments of a tendril. A truly wonder- 

 ful variety of the Orobus syhaticus^ 

 Engl, Bot. t. 518, with large simple 

 leaves, has been found in Wales. 



opposite, oppositely, when the leaflets are 

 opposite, or in pairs, as Saint-foin, t. 96, 

 Roses, Slum a?igustifolium, t. 139? &c. 



alternatim, alternately, when they are 

 alternate, as Vicia dumetorum (Cracca 

 sylvatica) Riv, Fent. Irr. t. 51, and 

 occasionally in our V. sativa, Ijutea, Sec. 



interrupte^f. 107j interruptedly, when the
