TO BOTANY. 



Pinnate, with an odd one ; when it is terminated 

 by an odd foliole. 



A cirrhose pinnate leaf; when it terminates in a 

 cirrhus or clasper. 



An abrupt pinnate leaf; when it is terminated nei- 

 ther by a foliole nor cirrhus. 



Oppositely pinnate ; when' the folioles stand oppo- 

 site to each other. 



Alternately pinnate ; when the folioles are produced 

 alternately. 



Interruptedly pinnate; when the petiole common 

 to all the folioles is articulate, jointed. 



Decursively pinnate; when the folioles are de- 

 current, running do^ n ; that is, extend themselves 

 downwards along the petiole. 



Conjugate; when the pinnate leaf consists- of two 

 folioles only. 



DEGREE, in a compound leaf, respects the subdi- 

 vision of the common petiole. In respect to which 

 leaves are, 



Decompound ; when a petiole once divided con- 

 nects many folioles. 



Bigeminate; when a dichotomous petiole con- 

 nects four folioles on its apices. 



Biternate, or Duplicato-Ternate; when there are 

 three folioles on a petiole, and each foliole is ternate ; 

 as in Epimedium. 



Bipinnate, or Duplicato-pinnate ; when the folioles 

 of a pinnate leaf are pinnate. 



Pedate, foot-shaped or branching ; when a bifid 

 petiole connects many folioles on its inside only; as 

 in Passi flora and Arum. 



Supra-decompound ; when many folioles are borne 

 on a petiole, that has been any number of times sub- 

 divided. 



Triternate, or Triplicato-Ternate ; when a petiole 

 fyears three folioles that are each of them ternate.
