HABIT is the appearance or mode of growth. Thus a 

 Verbena may be of straggling or shrubby, compact habit. 

 This habit is much influenced by soil and cultivation. 

 Thus Bu'xus sempervi'rens in a poor soil is dwarfish, but 

 in a rich soil becomes tree-like. The term habit is applied 

 to the power a plant possesses of vegetating earlier or 

 later, when once accustomed to do so. Thus, a vine 

 once forced to break early will retain the habit of doing 

 so the following year, though not forced.
