APPLE, ETC. 229 



bud-scales ciliate and usually tomentose. Buds small, 

 narrow-ovoid, acute, not appressed, small, with few scales 

 covered with a loose cottony white tomentum as are also 

 the shoots, and this persists on the olive-brown or grey 

 twigs, giving them a greenish grey hue. Leaf-bases hardly 

 prominent ; leaf-scars more or less semi-lunate, with 3 leaf- 

 traces, one of which may be compound. 



> > Buds small, broad, avd de- 

 pressed hemispheric-conoid, 

 and somevjhat triangular or 

 flattened in section; they 

 and the twigs reddish to 

 brown, and pubescent-vel- 

 vety : pith round. Leaf- 

 scar crescentic with 3 leaf- 

 trace bundles. 



Pyrus Malus, L. Apple (Fig. 1]7). The terminal bud 

 is somewhat larger and inclined to ovoid, especially on the 

 dwarf-shoots. Twigs becoming smooth, red-brown, with 

 traces of tomentum. Dwarf-shoots common, stout, irregu- 

 larly curved and very rough with the crowded crescentic 

 leaf-scars, and sometimes almost thorny. Bud-scales 

 acute, red-brown, but whitish with hairs. Twigs round, 

 shining, with evident but small and scattered lenticels. 

 Leaf-scar crescentic. The bud-scales are stipules. The 

 young leaves in tlie bud are spirally arranged and in- 

 volute, with the stipules laid flat on their dorsal flanks 

 (Fig. 40). 



Cydonia vulgaris would also come here, but the to- 

 mentum on buds and twigs is reddish. The leaves are 

 not inroUed : otherwise as in Apple. 



In Gotoneaster the deep red-brown twigs are pubescent
