SITUATION AND POSITION OF LEAVES. 1 1 1 



that reason plant ce aphyllcc, as Salicornia^ Engl. Bot. 

 t. 4 1 5 and 1 69 1 , Stapdia variegata, Curt. Mag. t. 26, 

 glanduliffaM, Exot. Bot. t. 71, and all the species 

 of that genus. In such cases the surface of the stem 

 must perform all their necessary functions. 



1 . With respect to Situation and Position, 

 ' Folia radicalia, radical leaves, are such as spring 

 from the root, like those of the Cowslip, Engl- 

 Bot. t. 5, and Anemone Pulsatilla, t. 51. 

 - Caulina, stem-leaves, grow on the stem, as in Paris 

 guadrifolia, t. 7, Polemonium c<eruleum, t. 14, 

 &c. 



Ramea, branch-leaves, sometimes differ from those 

 of the main stem, and then require to be distin- 

 guished from them, as Melampyrum arvensc, 

 t. 53. 



Alterna,/. 21, alternate leaves, stand solitarily on 

 the stem or branches, spreading in different direc- 

 tions, as those of Borage, t. 36, and innumerable 

 other plants. 



Sparsa, f. 19, scattered irregularly, as in Genista 

 tinctoria, t. 44, Lilium chalccdonicum, Curt. 

 Mag. t. 30, and bulbiferum, t. 36. 



Opposita, opposite to each other, as Saxifraga 

 oppositifolia, Engl. Bot. t. 9, Ballota nigra, 

 t. 46, cScc. 



Cotiferta, clustered, or crowded together, as those 

 of Trientalis europtea y t. 15.
