COMPOUND LEAVES. 137 



t. 1129, and, with intermediate smaller leaflets, 

 Geum rivale, t. 10(5; also the Common Turnip. 

 Such leaves are usually denominated lyrate in 

 common with those properly so called (whose 

 ghape is simple, and not formed of separate leaf- 

 lets) ; nor is this from inaccuracy in botanical 

 writers. The reason is, that these two kinds of 

 leaves, however distinct in theory, are of all 

 leaves most liable to run into each other, even on 

 the same plant, examples of which are frequent 

 in the class Tetr adynamia. 



verticillato, f. 109, in a whorled manner, the leaf- 

 lets cut into fine divaricated segments embracing 

 the footstalk, as Slum verticillatum, Fl. Brit. 

 Engl. Bot. t. 395. 



Auriculatum, f. 110, an auricled leaf, is furnished 

 at its base with a pair of leaflets, properly distinct, 

 but occasionally liable to be joined with it, as 

 Salvia triloba, FL. Grcec. 1. 17, and Dipxacus pilo- 

 sus, Engl. Bot. t. 877. Linnaeus in the last ex- 

 ample uses the term appendiculatum, which is 

 correct, but superfluous, and I have therefore 

 ventured to apply it somewhat differently, /;. 1 33. 



Cofi}ugatum,f. 105, conjugate, or yoked, consists 

 of only a pair of pinna or leaflets, and is much 

 the same as binatum. Instances of it are afforded 

 by the genus Zygophyllum, whose name, equiva- 

 lent to Yoke-leaf, expresses this very character; 

 also Lathyrus sylvestris, EngL Bot. t. 805, and
