LATERALS, or Side-Shoots, are those 

 which spring from the sides of the main 

 branches, and are thus described in con- 

 tradistinction to the terminal or leading 

 shoots of the branches : The laterals on 

 the lower branches, like those branches 

 themselves, are usually longer as they 

 approach the base of the tree, because 

 they extend to obtain the benefit of the 

 light kept from them by the bmnches 



above. If unable thus to extend, ;ts in 

 the case of inner trees of those planted 

 in clumps, the laterals die, and occasion 

 the nakedness of their trunks. If the- 

 terminal shoot of a branch be cut away, 

 the laterals increase more in length, not 

 only because more sap is thus afforded 

 them, but because an extra effort is made 

 to advance into the desired degree of light. 



LA'THYRUS. (From la, to add to, and 

 thouros, an irritant; to increase excite- 

 ment, the supposed qualities of the seeds. 

 Nat. ord., Leguminous Plants [Fabaceae]. 

 Linn., \l-Diadelphia 4^-Dccandria.)
