Fig. 24. Eud of the vegetative cone of a Lime-bud from which the 

 bud-scales and most of the young leaves have been dissected off. The 

 scars of the latter are seen in distichous order up the two sides. At the 

 top is one of the youngest leaves with its stipules, which on removal 

 would show still younger leaves inside. At the base the scars of the 

 bud-scales. Highly magnified (He).
