52 BUDS AND STIPULES 



hollow of the bud ; while the final arrangement of the 

 leaf in the bud is shown in figs. 17 and 18. 



In the axillary buds, as a rule, the outer covering 

 consists of two stipules, the rest of the leaf not being 

 developed (fig. 83). Sometimes, however, at the base 

 a small projection may be seen (fig. 84), which is a

rudiment of a petiole. Sometimes this is rather more 

 developed (fig. 85), and sometimes a rudimentary blade 

 also appears (fig. 86). 



The reversal of the leaf in the bud, owing to the 

 length and early development of the petiole, is very 

 unusual. In Amicia Zycjomeris the leaf is bent, but 

 only forms a right angle with the petiole. 



ROSE 



The leaf of the Rose (see ante, fig. 58, p. 46) is more 

 complicated. It commences as a small knob at the 

 side of, and immediately below, the growing-point. 

 When this knob has reached a certain length it pre- 

 sents two lobes (fig. 87), which arise almost simul- 

 taneously. 1 The upper of these becomes one of the 



1 According to Schacht, however, the stipule appears first.
