and developmental stages separately in the tables; and I 

 shall start with the seedlings at the age (2-3 months) at 

 which they are usually sorted out and recorded. The first 

 table therefore gives the characters which are used in this 

 sorting. 



ANALYTICAL TABLE OF SEEDLINGS. 

 I. Leaves stalked. 



A. Leaves of the same breadth or broader.^ 



1. Of the same breadth and shape, not 

 to be distinguished as seedlings.

(Fig. 52, 63, 65, 66) \.O.gigas. 



3. Broader, rounded at the tip with very- 

 deep crumples, edge incurved. 



a) (Figs. 48, 51, 52, 91, 9^, 95) . 5. O. lata. 



b) 6. 6^. semilata. 



B= Leaves narrower. 



1. Broadest in the middle. 



a) very long with long stalks, with 

 narrow veins, almost smooth 



(Fig. 83) 1 . O. elliptica. 



b) small with broad leaf-stalk and 

 broad principal veins, very 

 smooth, shiny, dark green (Figs. 



51,81,82) S. 0.sci7ihllans. 



2. Of equal breadth over the greater 

 part of their length. 



a) green. 



a) 1. Only slightly narrower, 

 smooth without, or al- 

 most without, crumples . 9. O. laevifolia. 



a) 2. Very narrow with broad 

 leaf -stalks and broad 

 veins which often are 

 reddish; wrinkled (Figs. 

 48, 53, 72, 73, 74, 95) . . 10. O. oblonga.
