Palmated 



OF BOTANICAL TERMS. 



Panicle 



when it is sometimes improp- 

 erly called pedate, or so as to 

 make the leaf compound when 

 it is digitate. 



PAL'MATED, see Palmate. 



PAL MATELY CLEFT, having the 

 sinuses in a palmate leaf reach- 

 ing about half way to the base; 

 palmatifid. 



PAL MATELY C6M'P0TJND, hav- 

 ing the leaflets all attached to 

 the apex of the petiole; digi-

PAL MATELY DlVI'DED, cleft to 

 the base in a palmate manner, 

 but not compound; palmati- 

 sect. 



PAL MATELY LOBED, having the 

 lobes directed toward tbe apex 

 of the petiole. 



PAL'MATELY NERVED, some- 

 times applied to palmately 

 veined leaves in endogens; 

 palm-nerved; palminerved. 



PAL'MATELY PART'ED, cleft 

 nearly to tbe base in a pal- 

 mate manner. 



PAL'MATELY VEINED, having 

 the principal veins proceeding 

 from tbe apex of the petiole, 

 as in palmate leaves; palm- 

 veined; palmiveined; radiate- 

 veined.

 one or two large sinuses or 

 concavities in each side, like the

PAn<jEN'ESIS, a theory proposed 

 by Charles Darwin to account 

 for the reproduction of every 

 part of an organism. It is, tbat 

 each separate part of tbe indi- 

 vidual throws off minute re- 

 productive gemmules, which 

 are capable of multiplication, 

 and may be transmitted from 

 generation to generation. 

 Spores and seeds are abun- 

 dantly supplied with these 

 gemmules from all parts of 

 the organism, and therefore 

 specially fitted for reproduc- 

 tion. If other parts can serve 

 for propagation, it is because 

 gemmules from the remaining 

 parts are present; — if a cutting 

 "strikes root," for example, it 

 is because it contains root gem- 

 mules. Atavism is caused by 

 dormant gemmules from a pre- 

 vious generation. A modifica- 

 tion of this theory proposed by 

 De Vries is that each cell con- 

 tains all the essential elements 

 for the reproduction of the 

 plant, the protoplasm con- 

 taining a vast number of self- 

 reproductive particles (pan- 

 gens) which transmit the 

 characters of the individual. 

 PAN'ICLE, a branched raceme, 

 as in oats. Panicles are either 

 determinate or indeterminate
