numerous ramifications produce small leaflets which however 
judging from their lasting hairiness and their length of only 
one mM. do not develop beyond their first stage. 
The whole thing has a length of 2'/, dM. and by its paniculate 
shape (the primary, secondary etc. branches being decussate) 
strongly contrasts with the normal branches and leaves. Whereas 
the branches show hypertrophic development, the leaves dis- 
tinctly exemplify atrophy. Whether or not some vegetable or 
animal organism is at the bottom of this malformation in the 
dried state of the specimen cannot be decided.
