that reason pla?2fceap/ii/Ilce, ?i?> Salicornia, Engl. Bot, 

 t.4;\5 and 169 1 , Stapelia %'ariegata, Curt, Mag. t. 2G, 

 glanduUflora, E.vof. Bot. t. 71; and all the species 

 of that genus. In such cases the surface of the stem 

 must perform all their necessary functions. 



1. With respect to Situation and Position, 



Folia radlcalia, radical leaves, are such as spring 

 from the root, like those of the Cowslip, Eiigl- 

 Bot. t. 5, and Anemone Pulsatilla, t. 5\. 



Caulina, stem-leaves, grow on the stem^ as in Fans 

 (juadrlfoliay t, 7, Polemonium cceruleum, t. 14, 

 &c. 



RameUy branch-leaves, sometimes difter from those 

 of the main stem, and then require to be distin- 

 guished from them, as Melampyrum artensCy 

 t. 53. 



Alterna^f. 21, alternate leaves, stand solitarily on 

 the stem or branches, spreading in different'direc- 

 tions, as those of Borage, t, SQ, and innumerable 

 other plants. 



Sparsa,f. 19, scattered irregularly, as in Genista 

 ti?ictoria, t. 44, Lilium chalcedonicum, Curt. 

 Mag. t. 30, and bulhiferum^ t. 36. 



Opposita, opposite to each other, as Sa.vifraga 

 oppositi folia, Engl. Bot. t. 9, Ballota nigrUy 

 t. 46, &c. 



Conferta, clustered, or crowded together, as those 

 oi TrientaUs europc^a^t, \5.
