3. TRANSVERSA. 



(Angles 60 to 90 degrees.) 



Taking the word Transversae in its ordinary meaning, it can hardly be stretched 

 beyond 60 degrees as a minimum. At the same time, this excludes such of the 

 Corymbosae (a group usually considered as almost synonymous with the Transversae), 

 for they are to be found in the Obliquae from angles 40 to 60, and are to be found 

 commonly with angles 50 to 60. 



The transverse venation is, as a rule, different from that of the other two groups, 

 in that the veins are closer together — more packed, so that there is not room between 

 them for the finer reticulate veins. At the same time, it shades into the oblique 

 venation imperceptibly. 



Included in Mueller's and Baker and Smith's Transverse group are E. botryoides, 

 E. resvnifera, E. saligna and E. tessellaris, in addition to certain members of the 

 Corymbosae. Their venation may be seen in the following — E. botryoides, Plates 98 

 and 99; E. resinifera, Plate 124; E. saligna, Plates 99 and 100; E. tessellaris, Plate 

 156. 



It will be seen how close their venation is to that of the Corymbosae. 



I have done my best to put all Corymbosae in the Transversa^, with species like 

 E. resinifera as tend to the Transversae, but by making the range 60 to 90 degrees, I 

 think I have strained the meaning of the word sufficiently.
