BUDS. 



17 



hence there is no real difference between a leaf bud 

 and a branch bud 1 . When it contains a flower 2 , this 

 is situated as in the bulb of the tulip above figured. 



When it contains leaves only, the arrangement of 

 these in folds or otherwise 3 , varies much in different 

 groups of plants. It may be plaited 4 , as in the birch ; 

 doubled 5 , as in the rose and the oak; tiled 6 , as in the 

 lilac and privet ; embracing 7 , as in the iris and the 

 sage; rolled lengthways 8 ; rolled inwards 9 ; rolled out- 

 wards 10 ; rolled from the tip to the base 11 ; or wrapt 

 round the leaf-stalk 12 . 



Modes in which the leaves in buds are folded. a, doubled, 

 oak, rose, &c. ; b, doubled embracing, valerian, teasel, &c. ; c, 

 doubled- compound, mimosa, carrot, &c. ; d, rolled inwards, grasses, 

 &C; ; e, tiled, privet, lilac, &c. ; /, rolled outwards, rosemary, prim- 

 rose, &c.; g, plaited, palms, birch, &c. j h, rolled breadth-wise, 

 ferns; i, reclining, wolf's-bane, anemone, &c.
