Trees, Shrubs and Vines 



These general facts of plant-structure, with the added glossar)-, 

 suffice to explain all of the more technical terms used in the fol- 

 lowing descriptions. In the case of white-blossoming shrubs, it 

 must be noted, first of all, whether the petals are distinct, or 

 somewhat cohering by their edges (i.e., whether the flower is 

 polypetalous or monopetalotis), as the first two groups are based 

 upon this difference : p. means polypetalous ; m. means mono- 

 .petalous.
