 from which the cover-hairs originate, are strongly arched. 

 Stomates are present in great numbers on both surfaces. 

 Where the leaves are pressed closely together in rosettes,

and lower surface is almost the same, but they are always 

 somewhat more numerous on the lower surface. On shoots 

 with few leaves (see fig. 19, A, furthest to the right), the 

 stomates are much fewer on the upper than on the lower 

 surface of the leaves: but, in this case the stomates are
