382 Glossary 



Subtending. Standing below. 



Succulent. Fleshy (stem of ocotillo; scales of hawthorn). 



Suckers. Adherent disks on tendrils (Boston ivy); also ap- 

 plied to new stems that originate underground (poplar), 

 or to canes (rose). 



Sulcate. Grooved. 



Sunken. In depressions (buds of coffee-nut or buttonball). 



Supernumerary. Beyond the usual number (superposed or 

 collateral buds). 



Superposed. One above the other (buds of coffee-nut). 



Suppressed. Undeveloped or rudimentary, when applied to 

 buds, etc. 



Surpassing. Sometimes used in the sense of longer than. 



Tender. In the horticultural sense of not enduring winter 

 cold. 



Tendril. A climbing organ metamorphosed from leaf (cle- 

 matis), stipules (smilax) or stem (grape). 



Terete. Round in cross-section as though rolled between the 

 fingers, as applied to twigs, capsules, etc. 



Teretely. In a terete manner. 



Ternate. Compound or decompound with 3 divisions (nan- 

 dina leaf).

Toothed. With the margin cut into, but not deeply enough 

 for lobing, as applied to leaves. 



Torsion. Twisting. It frequently gives a false impression of 

 the number of ranks in which leaf-scars stand. Leaves 

 of privet, pernettya and many other plants lie in one 

 plane through curving of their petioles, though they origi- 

 nate on the stem in 4 ranks. 



Torulose. Much the same as moniliform: necklace-like.
