Besides the above varieties of ascidia formed from the union of 
one or more leaves, there are others which seem to be the result of a 
peculiar excrescence or hypertrophy of the leaf. Such are some of 
the curious pitcher-like structures met with occasionally in the leaves 
of cabbages, lettuces, Aristolochia, &. See Hypertrophy, cup-like 
deformities, &c.
