of a plant give place to others totally dirferent 

 froni them and from the natural habit of the 

 genus, as in many MimoscE of New Holland ; see 

 M. verticillataj Curt. Mag. t. 110, and mijrti- 

 Jolia^ t. 302 ; also Lathyrus Nissoiui, Engl. Bot. 

 t. 112. 

 CucuUatinn^ f. 102, hooded, when the edges meet 

 in the lower part, and expand in the upper, as 

 those of the curious genus Sarracenia. See 

 Curt. Mag. t. 780 and 849, and -5'. adiuica, 

 E.vot, Bot. t. 53. 

 Appendiculatum, f. 103^ furnished with an addi- 

 tional organ for some particular })urpose not es- 

 sential to a leaf, as Dioncea viuscipida, Curt, 

 Mag. t. 785, cultivated very successfully by Mr, 

 Salisbury, at Brompton, whose leaves each ter- 

 minate in a pair of toothed irritable lobes, that 

 close over and imprison insects ; or Nepenthes 

 distillator'ui., Riimph. Amboin, v. 5. t. 59, J- 2, 

 the leaf of which bears a covered pitcher, full of 

 water. Aldroranda %xsicidosay and our Utriai- 

 larkc, Engl. Bot. t. 253, 254, have numerous 

 bladders attached to the leaves, which seem to 

 secrete air, and float the plants. 

 Many of the preceding terms applied to leaves are 

 occasionally combined, to express a form between the 

 two, as ovato-Ianceolatcim,\anQco\sLte inclining to ovate, 

 or elUptko-iauceolatum, like the Privet, Engl. Bot. 

 t. 764. When shape, or any other character, cannot 

 be precisely denned, sub is 'prefixed to the term used.
