LEAVES. 



Fig. 35. 



Lobed, when leaves are deeply indented at their margins 

 they are said to be lobed, and according to these indentures, 

 they are said to be three lobed, four lobed, &c. Fig. 35, a, rep- 

 resents a three lobed leaf, as may be seen in the Hepatica tri- 

 loba. 



Sinuate, from the Latin sinus, a bay ; this term is applied to 

 leaves which have their margins indented with deep roundish- 

 divisions as at b, Fig. 65. 



Eniarginate, denotes a slighter indentation as at c, Fig. 35.

FlabcJ/fform, or fan 

 shnped (from flabdlum, 

 a fan) ; this form of the 

 leaf is seen in some of the 

 palms. In China they 

 are used for fans and sold 

 to foreign merchants for 

 the same purpose. Fig. 

 36 is a representation of 

 the dwarf-fan-palm (Cha- 

 mccrops hu?nilis).
